Behan Complete Plays
The Hostage/The Quare Fellow/Richard's Cork Leg/And Three One-Act Plays
Brendan Behan
'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.'
