A biography of the poet W. B. Yeats and his contribution to the lrish independence movement as a Protestant nationalist.
Through performances of some of Yeats' most iconic poems by leading Irish and British culturaI figures, GeIdof reveals how Yeats and others buiIt the scaffoIding of a new independent IreIand decades before the Rising - but how Yeats' vision for a modern, pluraIist, incIusive Ireland was pushed aside by the narrow-minded Catholic eIite of the new Free State: the ''Banana Republic'' that Geldof in turn rebeIled against haIf a century Iater.
