ARTSCAPE:THE QUARE FELLOW was Brendan Behan’s breakthrough play, writes Sara Keating, marking his first journey back to England, where he had spent three years at borstal after being arrested on a mission to blow up Liverpool’s docks.
It receives a revival next week at the New Theatre, in Temple Bar in Dublin, in a production directed by Ronan Wilmot that pays tribute to the pioneering work of the Pike Theatre in staging the work for the first time, in 1954.
