This volume contains everything Brendan Behan wrote in dramatic
form in English Contains the three famous full-length plays: The
Quare Fellow, set in an Irish prison ("In Brendan Behan's
tremendous new play language is out on a spree, ribald, dauntless
and spoiling for a fight ...with superb dramatic tact, the tragedy
is concealed beneath layer after layer of rough comedy" Observer);
The Hostage, set in a Dublin lodging-house of doubtful repute where
a young English soldier is being kept prisoner, "shouts, sings,
thunders and stamps with life...a masterpiece" (The Times); and
Richard's Cork Leg, set in a graveyard, "a joyous celebration of
life" (Guardian). The volume also contains three one-act plays,
originally written for radio and all intensely autobiographical,
Moving Out, A Garden Party and The Big House.
