Juno and the Paycock is set against the turbulent background of 1922.
Put very badly, the plot of Sean O'Casey's early masterpiece, Juno and the Paycock, can be summarised as the disintegration of a slum-dwelling Dublin family as a result of the civil war in the newly-created Irish Free State, in 1922.
But that is to tell only part of the story, because in most of his work there is an undercurrent of sacrifice in support of a principle and the opposing attitudes of men and women to the ideal.

 Juno and the Paycock: review on TheaterMania.com
The bulk of that dealing is borne by the eponymous Juno, since her husband, Jack, the family paycock (read peacock), forever excuses himself from the call of everything but two local pubs, giving chronic pains in his legs as the unlikely reason for his inability to seek work even when it's offered.
As the three acts of Juno and the Paycock (presented here in two) unfold, he says as much as he can about the damaged heart and frayed soul of a people he clearly loves but can't forgive for their transgressions.
Juno's chastising, Jack's denials about drinking and his friendship with homily-spouting Joxer are all funny; actually, they're slow to cease being funny, as they persist to the point where Jack and Joxer become almost unbearable company.

 Variety.com - Reviews - Juno and the Paycock
In opposition to her harried energy is the no less dedicated inertia of Jim Norton's Jack Boyle, the strutting "Paycock" of the title, whose determination to avoid the humiliation of gainful employ provides much of the play's vivid comedy.
As with Molloy's earthbound Juno, Norton, who broke through on Broadway two seasons back in "The Weir," is an effortlessly natural Captain Jack whose inherent theatricality is never allowed to over-flow into caricature.
It's also easy to see the charmer he once was: When Jack recalls with easy warmth how Juno came by her name, the vestiges of affection that keep them together subtly perfume the air for a few telling in-stants.

 Theatre Mirror Reviews - "Juno And The Paycock"
There's pretty Mary Boyle (Alison Weller) just as determined to avoid marriage to the honest young man what loves her, and young Johnny (Jonathan Bradshaw), having given a gimpy leg and half an arm in the struggle for Nationhood hoping not to be drawn back to the deadly cycle of raids and reprisals.
And then there's Sheila Ferrini's matriarch "Juno" Boyle, determined to stave off poverty and disgrace but with nothing left but her chiding tongue to do it with, and her strutting "paycock" of a husband thwarting her at every turn.
It is at last surprising, however, that though Jeff Gardiner's set and Marguerite Scott's costumes anchor the show firmly in the 1920's, the failure of poetic speeches to free the Boyles from their past speaks as much of their problems then as Ireland's problems this very morning.
