Notes: | from the third of six autobiographical volumes by Sean O'Casey | |||||
Synopsis: | Following the technique he utilized so brilliantly in I Knock at the Door, Paul Shyre has again adapted the rich and imaginative writings of Sean O'Casey into theatre of great variety and dramatic impact. In the present instance, Mr. Shyre has conceived his work in a modified play form, with narration and stage action cleverly interbalanced. The effect achieved is unique. Great prose and striking theatre combined into an experience of humor, pathos and moving power. | |||||

Synopsis: | I Knock at the Door brings Johnny Cassidy into the world-the world of 19th century Dublin, with its horse-drawn trams and outdoor toilets, its pubs and parades, its Catholics versus its Protestants. Where did the boy with the diseased eyes find the pluck, guts, and humor to shoulder his way into productive life? We get to know the mother who stood guard over him, the scholar father who died so young but left his books, the doctors who helped the boy, and those who greatly hindered him. | |||||

Notes: | - | |||||
Synopsis: | Pictures in the Hallway brings us the lively tale of an adolescent Johnny initiated into the rough and tumble of Dublin's adult world by a series of life-changing events. First job-in his early teens, because it's a fatherless home where every penny counts; first politics-in a society where even the singing of certain songs was a punishable offense; first sex-a reaching out for freedom in a world still gripped by repressive morals and sexual fear. O'Casey shares his joys, pain, discoveries and hopes as he traverses these rites of passage. As we vicariously join him, we relive our own initiations | |||||
