The English language brings out the best in the Irish. They court it like a beautiful woman. They make it bray with donkey laughter. They hurl it at the sky like a paint pot full of rainbows, and then make it chant a dirge for man’s fate and man’s follies that is as mournful as misty spring rain crying over the fallow earth.
T. E. Kalem on Brendan Behan’s 1958 play, Borstal Boy.

Watch This Space!
'Borstal Boy' read the book and saw the film. The man had raw talent. How many people know that the IRA had a death sentence on bold Brendans head for conduct unbecoming with his membership of oglaigh na heireann. It was of course commutted because of his big personality, and he just got chucked out instead. His mother was a great woman (1916 material), but his brother Dominic who wrote and sang 'Liverpool Lou' never forgave the IRA, - the person was bigger than the cause!
