thanks for the Behan.

really enjoyed that. I must read the play again. I didn't remember that poem/song.

Was it a Joan Littlewood production - it has sort of 1950's vibe. I loved that period of British drama. Behan. Wesker, Arden when the actors burst into song.
Some of it was a bit daft and idealistic like when the guys in the RAF NAAFI burst into The Cutty Wren in Chips with Everything - but it's stuff like that makes your heart soar and glad to be English/Irish. Just shows the political differences between the two countries up for the bullshit that it is. We should be friends.

(never mind all this stuff about warm beer and John Major's underpants!)
