The third collection of plays by "The most distinctive, the most
restless, the most obsessive imagination at work in the Irish
theatre today" Brian Friel
"James in The Morning After Optimism is literally on the run, a
comically exaggerated villain in flight form his crimes, seeking
refuge in a fairytale forest. Harry in The Sanctuary Lamp is holed
up in a church like a mediaeval outlaw, hoping to keep at bay the
guilt of his messy life. JPW King in The Gigli Concert is a kind of
cross between Dr Livingstone and Robinson Crusoe, a missionary who
has become a shipwrecked loner, an Englishman sent to Dublin by a
cult to convert the natives, and left there, beached and bereft."
(Fintan O'Toole)
