Product Description
In 1957 Dublin's Pike Theatre-famous for discovering Behan and premiering Waiting for Godot-staged Tennessee Williams's celebrated play, The Rose Tattoo, to packed audiences. Shortly after, the theatre director was arrested on the grounds of indecency, and the theatre was later forced to close entirely. Few episodes in modern Irish history have proved quite as mysterious as this one. Gerard Whelan, with the assistance of Carolyn Swift, set out to uncover the real reasons behind this bizarre case. Their research reveals a sensational story hidden under decades-old layers of silence, misinformation, and government subterfuge.
