* OohMeAccentsSlipping: O'Casey's tendency to write dialogue the way he thought it should sound leads to a rare textual example of this, most noticeably with the British soldiers: his representation of a Cockney accent is as outlandish as Dick van Dyke's in ''Film/MaryPoppins'', e.g. "I do loike a snoice mince poy" for "I do like a nice mince pie." Most productions get around this by hiring actors who are English (or can do flawless Cockney accents) and having them speak the lines as if they were written in standard English.
