Philadelphia, Here I Come!

on Network Three

by Brian Friel
with Donal Donnelly, Patrick Magee, J.G. Devlin, Patrick McAlinney and Harold Goldblatt

Philadelphia awaits Gar O'Donnell tomorrow. But tonight he says goodbye: to an inarticulate father, to a few friends, to an old teacher. And the buffoonery necessary to make these partings bearable provides a counterpoint to the sadness of his going.
Cast in order of speaking:
Produced by RONALD MASON
(Third broadcast)
(Patrick Magee is a member of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre Company)
