Contents: Philadelphia, Here I Come; The Freedom of the City;
Living Quarters; Aristocrats; Faith Healer; Translations Brian
Friel was born in County Tyrone in 1929 and worked as a teacher
before turning to full-time writing in 1960. His first stage
success was in 1964 with Philadelphia, Here I Come, which
established his claim as heir to such distinguished predecessors as
Yeats, Synge, O'Casey, and Behan. In 1979 he and actor Stephen Rea
formed the Field Day Theatre Company, whose first theatrical
production was Friel's Translations in 1980. Also included in this
selection are The Freedom of the City, set in Londonderry in 1970;
Living Quarters, which Desmond MacAvok in the Evening Presscalled
"one of the most fascinating and, in the end, truly moving
evenings. . .in Irish Theatre"; Faith Healer, a metaphoric
depiction of the artist and his gift' and Aristocrats, "as fine and
as stimulating and as warm a piece of writing as had appeared on
the Irish stage for many years," according to David Nowland, the
Irish Times.
