Juno and the Paycock

September 21 - November 23, 2024

J. Smith Cameron enjoys a different kind of succession as she becomes the latest star of the hit series to step onto the London stage. Opposite Sir Mark Rylance, Smith Cameron will star as the titular Juno in Sean O'Casey's Juno and the Paycock. A big-hearted dark comedy that follows matriarch Juno and her gadabout husband 'Captain' Jack Boyle (Rylance) as they receive an unexpected inheritance. Set in the family's Dublin tenement during the tumultuous early days of the Irish Civil War, this masterpiece is a testament to a mother's strength in the face of chaos - both countrywide and at home.
