London, 1956 - a dilapidated theatre in the bombed-out slums of the East End. A bankrupt acting company stakes all on the debut of a new work by an unknown playwright. The play - The Quare Fellow; the playwright - Brendan Behan; the company - Joan Littlewood's Theatre Workshop. Drawing on the biographies and memoirs of those involved in the tempestuous run-up to the first night, this is the story of the play's genesis, and of the people - wayward and wilful, talented and driven - who first brought it to a ravaged, wartorn and unsuspecting world.T0518059325Company Propwash Theatre.
