The Hostage
By Brendan Behan
Directed by Mark A. Rhea
February 21 - March 29, 2008
Church Street Theater
Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays - 8 pm; Sunday matinees - 2 pm
The IRA takes an innocent British soldier hostage in a bawdy Irish bar - he is to be shot if the British go through with the execution of an IRA youth. What follows is an examination of Irish politics, history, and art that is both provocative and comic. The Hostage is a circus of flamboyant characters, rich language, and a medley of theratrical styles.
