The original play by Sean O'Casey has been recast as a libretto by Amanda Holden into two acts each with two scenes. The story tells of a popular young Dublin man (Harry Heegan) in 1915 who just before returning to the Western front wins a football cup, the Silver Tassie. His good looks and popularity stimulate both rivalries and the love of his sweetheart Jessie. Back at the front he is wounded and his injuries leave him unable to walk or function below the waist. Back in Ireland after the War his life has changed. Bitterness has replaced optimism and his girlfriend is now being willingly courted by his one-time best friend and war-time saviour Barney, whose recue of Harry earned him a VC.

Go fetch to me a pint o wine, And fill it in a silver tassie; That I may drink, before I go, A service to my bonie lassie: The boat rocks at the Pier o' Leith, Fu' loud the wind blaws frae the Ferry, The ship rides by the Berwick-law, And I maun leave my bony Mary. The trumpets sound, the banners fly, The glittering spears are ranked ready, The shouts o' war are heard afar, The battle closes deep and bloody. It's not the roar o' sea or shore, Wad make me langer wish to tarry; Nor shouts o' war that's heard afar- It's leaving thee, my bony Mary!
