    Never mind what play was being performed, the theatre promoters knew that the name of Barry Sullivan would attract a full house. Bradford Review - Saturday 24 November 1866

    Barry Sullivan (christened Thomas Barry Sullivan; 5 July 1821 – 3 May 1891)
    " ... Sullivan was five feet nine inches (175 cm) tall[2] and had a wiry, slight figure which allowed him to play younger parts when he was middle-aged.[1] For a long period Sullivan was one of the finest actors of his period, though at times inclined to err on the robust side.[2] In Melbourne Sullivan's death resulted in lengthy obituaries; he was remembered as an actor and manager of 'more than ordinary talent, combined with considerable force of character, great tenacity of purpose, untiring industry, and a dogged application to the business of his profession'."

    There was no end to his talent and versatility. An anecdote recounted in the Tatler on Wednesday 21 September 1927:
    Mr. Barry Sullivan, one of our great actors of old days, was appearing as Hamlet at Portsmouth. The audience consisted mainly of sailors, who were out for a good time. When Barry Sullivan was about to commence the famous soliloquy "To be or not to be," the sailors demanded that he should dance the hornpipe for their amusement. Barry tried to talk them down, but one of them shouted "Look here, Barry Are you going to dance as my pals wish or am I to come down on the stage and make yer do it?" So the sedate Hamlet danced a hornpipe and then continued the soliloquy.

    this has to be a burial at Glasnevin Cemetery? I recognize several of the monuments.

    I know! Great view of what's going on without having to clamber on the headstones like the guys in the background did...

    To cheat slightly, there's a list available in the Jeremiah O’Donovan Rossa Funeral Souvenir Programme.

    Sharon Corbet Cheating's such an ugly word, Sharon! It's a research resource... :) Who did the fantastic numbered jigsaw for our RIA photograph a while back? *shakes fist and glares at Flickr for taking away our vital Notes feature*

    Here is a cool interactive map of Glasnevin using Streetview to tour famous graves.
