The first collection of plays from one of Ireland's most accomplished contemporary writers

This volume contains four plays: The Lament for Arthur Cleary: Theatrically rich and socially powerful, it takes on the lineaments of an epic voyage, a voyage into the dark heart of a city where Irish theatre has seldom been before (Irish Times); In High Germany: Thoughtful, comic, sad and provocative, this monologue of a lost and altered heritage ... These two plays [In High Germany and The Holy Ground] are cogent manifestations of a changing Irish world (Irish Times); The Holy Ground: A tour de force. It's stream of consciousness theatre at its best ... [which] develops a pace until the listener is hanging on to every syllable (Sunday Press); Blinded by the Light: Manically madcap and hilariously funny, it canters in a bawdy romp onto the stage, heralding the arrival of a unique comic writing talent. Energetic, perfectly timed and brilliantly observed (Irish Press)A writer of frenetic energy and imagination. (Sunday Times)
