Loading... Patrick Pearse Motel (Acting Edition)by Hugh Leonard
Representing Ireland in my slow-moving project to read a book from every country in the world is dramatist Hugh Leonard. I’d previously read the depressing and close-to-home Da. This play is very different part satire of Irish memory, part satire of nouveaux riche in Ireland, but mostly farce. Almost on the Three’s Company level of people walking in on one another and assuming the worst. Still very funny though, and it hits its point, although the play seems a bit dated.
