Part 2

by Brendan Behan
with Jack MacGowran, Murray Melvin, Patrick Magee
A melodrama of Dublin life arranged for broadcasting by DOMINIC BEHAN and H. A. L. CRAIG
A story of a British soldier kept as a hostage in a lodging house in the Dublin slums, written as a play in Gaelic by Brendan Behan and translated by him into English, first staged by Theatre Workshop, has entertained and moved audiences in Stratford East and the West End of London, in New York, on the Continent of Europe and now in many towns up and down the country - bringing a mixture of tragi-comedy, song and dance, with outrageous yet possible Dublin characters. The author treats a serious subject with ribald humour and looks at the lighter side of life with the courage of his convictions.
