A propos de cet article

Dust jacket complete, unclipped, a little loss to edges. Original cloth boards with bright gilt titling on spine. No inscriptions. Frontis portrait plate. 196 pages clean and tight. Ten years after his death, it is fitting there should be a revival of interest in the Dublin-born dramatist Sean O'Casey (1880-1964). Fifty years ago, O'Casey's great tragicomedy, Juno and the Paycock descended on astonished audiences for the first time and made theatrical history. His gift of heightened speech was his singular endowment to the stage. This picturesque eloquence is explored in the brilliant conversations resulting from numerous interviews and recollections of O'Casey throughout his phenomenal career of manual worker turned world-playwright. From the wit and wisdom and conversational exuberance that abound in these racy dialogues - gathered together here in print for the first time - there emerges a substantially revealing portrait, more informal perhaps than before, of O'Casey the impassioned playwright. The Sting and the Twinkle (the title derives from one of the interviews and symbolises the playwright's own bittersweet nature) is, in the words of the introduction, 'another seasoned helping of O'Casey cornucopia . . . Pungent and provocative, the anthology is in the same lively tradition as its predecessors, The Flying Wasp (1937), The Green Crow (1956), Under Colored Cap (1963), and Blasts and Benedictions, published, posthumously, in 1967.' Here we have O'Casey talking about communism, Christianity and the future of civilisation. His views on education; England; Russia and America - outshone only by his greater love for humanity. His concern for youth - in all lands, all colours, all creeds. His basic and Joycean love for Ireland; as well as his shrewd comments on the theatre - his own work, especially. Size: 8vo.…
