I Knock at the Door
Sean O'casey
Pictures in the Hallway
by Sean O'casey, Paul Shyre
Synopsis
A section of O'Casey's early autobiography, dramatized for Broadway by Mr. Shyre, and presented with Staats Cotsworth and Aline MacMahon, among others, in a reading on a bare stage.
We meet O'Casey in his first skirmish with women; in the episodes and torn allegiances of the Irish rebellion; in his first job, in a bookstore, which ended disastrously; in his first acquaintance with death, close within his own family.
Finally he makes his decision; to stand no longer looking at the pictures in the hallway, but to move out into the mainstream of life, and carve his own history.
Admirably dramatic, though it is a reading on a bare stage.
