Description
In the last hours of the 1916 Easter Rising 20-year old Charlie Saurin came face to face with his Commander-in-Chief Patrick Pearse.
In a final gamble Pearse had a desperate plan to save the collapsing rebellion.
It required the sacrifice of Saurin and his comrades.
The Scrap is the true story of the rising from first-hand evidence as seen by one rebel unit - F Company 2nd Battalion - following them from the first skirmish in Fairview to the inferno of the GPO.
Told in the context of some of the major events of that week the story of F Company brings alive the excitement the humour the horror and the contradictions of that decisive moment in the creation of the Irish state.
