Frank McGuinness Plays 2

Frank McGuinness Plays 2 Synopsis

This second collection of Frank McGuinness contains his beautifully lyrical plays from 1989 to 1999. The Bird Sanctuary is published here for the first time. The collection also includes Mary and Lizzie, Someone Who'll Watch Over Me and Dolly West's Kitchen, and is introduced by the author. Mary and Lizzie 'An extraordinary, outlandish script . . . Intriguing and sharply irreverent.' Time Out Someone Who'll Watch Over Me 'Frank McGuinness's brilliant play, Someone Who'll Watch Over Me, not only penetrates the minds of three disparate man who fetch up as hostages in Lebanon, but also evokes a terrifyingly unnatural situation with remarkable conviction.' Sunday Express Dolly West's Kitchen 'No play has ever looked into Ireland's past and found there its future with the mix of wit and wisdom, death and despair, life and love, that characterises every line and every corner and every moment of Dolly West's Kitchen.' Spectator
