From novelist and screenwriter Roddy Doyle come these two colorful plays. both set in the North Dublin suburb of Barrytown. In Brownbread, three young men kidnap a bishop but soon come to realize—when the U.S. Marines invade—that their brilliant adventure is nothing more than a colossal mistake. War is set at the Hiker's Rest, a pub where two trivia addicts meet every month to answer questions posed by Denis trhe quizmaster who hates wrong answers and shoots to kill. These earthy, exuberant works show why The New York Times Book Review says Doyle's "versatility and brio...may shock the neighbors, but...you can't take your eyes off him."

Brownbread and War: Two Plays
Plays are meant to be seen performed on stage, not read like novels, so there's my caveat. That said, these two plays are pretty consistent with other stage-adapted Doyle works like The Snapper, which I was privileged to see at the Gate Theatre in Dublin a couple of years ago, and like that work are set in Barrytown. Brownbread is the more outrageous and uproarious of the two, and I wouldn't mind seeing it performed. War has much more involved ensemble instructions and appears to be considerably longer; it read a bit too much like an R-rated episode of an Irish Cheers. With the right direction, I'm sure it too would garner its share of laughs, though it has a more realistic undertone (i.e., is less farcical ) than Brownbread. Fans of Doyle will not be disappointed.
