Borstal Boy by Brendan Behan

4.0

Great new Abbey production of The Quare Fellow left me with a strong yearning to finally pick this up - what was I waiting for? Impassioned and interrogative in its understated reflections on the stories our birth-of-a-nation mythologies don't tell, on systemic forces that cross enemy lines, and the solidarity that can break them.
