New York Irish Center presents Fishamble's Inside the GPO by Colin Murphy was a must-see cultural event at the heart of the 1916 commemorations. This unprecedented documentary drama, directed by Jim Culleton, was a once-in-a-century opportunity to experience the Easter Rising, in the main hall of the GPO itself.

Audiences witnessed the rebel leadership navigate the perils of the Rising across the five days during which they occupied the GPO. This year, we are delighted to present the filmed play to share with audiences around the world from 1 – 5 April 2021 to celebrate the 105th anniversary of the Rising.

On Thursday, the building caught fire.
