Watch Young Cassidy

Set in Ireland during the protest against England's rule, Young Cassidy tells the story of a young man who does hard labor work during the day and who writes pamphlets at night. When the issues that he discusses in his pamphlets cause riots, he realizes just how influential his words can be. John Cassidy then sets out to begin writing plays for a living, and he realizes that he has more of a knack for it than he originally thought.
