by SeanO'Casey (Author)
This collection is a showcase of the wit and passion that is the mark of the author's drama. Included are The Public Death of Shakespeare , O'Casey's musings on the state of the theatre, Coward Codology , on the work of Noel Coward, and Bonfire Under a Black Sun , O'Casey's bitter reaction against the critics of holy Ireland who lambasted The Bishop's Bonfire , one of his last plays, for its anti-clerical stance. Here too are his reactions to the failures and futures of the arts, to films, and to the subjects and people dearest to him - Dublin, Shaw, laughter and flags. The book also includes four short stories.
