Brendan Behan was born on the 9th February 1923. He went on to become a great Irish author, song writer and playwright. He presented himself as a larger than life character, while his work was raw and uncompromising and he never abandoned his pure Dublin roots.

To mark this centenary, we are delighted to present these two short pieces, performed by Monica Horan and Paul Horan of the East Wall P.E.G. Drama & Variety Group.
