Three of Padraic Fallon's brilliant radio plays from the 1950s, a time that is now recognized as the medium's golden age are reproduced in this collection. These three plays reveal the range of Fallon's historical and social themes, combining intellectual subtlety with lyrical beauty and moments of broad humor. An introduction from one of Fallon's sons explores the literary context and production history of these genre-defining plays.
