With superb dramatic tact, the tragedy is concealed beneath layer after layer of rough comedy" Observer) ; The Hostage, set in a Dublin lodging-house of doubtful repute where a young English soldier is being kept prisoner, "shouts, sings, thunders and stamps with life? A masterpiece" (The Times) ; and Richard's Cork Leg, set in a graveyard, "a joyous celebration of life" (Guardian).
