Drums Under the Windows
by Sean O'casey, Paul Shyre
Synopsis
THE STORY: Following the technique he utilized so brilliantly in I Knock at the Door , Paul Shyre has again adapted the rich and imaginative writings of Sean O'Casey into theatre of great variety and dramatic impact.
In the present instance, Mr. Shyre has conceived his work in a modified play form, with narration and stage action cleverly interbalanced.
The effect achieved is unique.
Great prose and striking theatre combined into an experience of humor, pathos and moving power.
