Act 1

Roy WALKER talks about Martin Buber 's Daniel, the fourth section: ' On Polarity. Dialogue After the Theater.'
Is there an acceptable way of speaking about ' religious drama ' or of play-going as a religious experience? Roy WALKER believes that Buber's account of a visit to the theatre answers appropriately this kind of question.
' Daniel: Dialogues on Realization ' was written in 1913. For many years Buber withheld permission for an English translation to be made. A version by Maurice Friedman was published last year, with the author's consent, in the United States.

Act 2

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

Philadelnhia 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.
