    Extractions: Brendan Behan Biography Brendan Behan , the Irish playwright and author, was born in Dublin on 9 February 1923 He left school at the age of 13 and had many jobs. At that time, he joined the Irish Republican Army , which was outlawed. Behan spent much of the 1940s in reform school and prison Having been convicted of carrying explosives in 1939 in Liverpool, he was sentenced to a "Borstal", i.e. a boys prison, for eighteen months , and there he began writing. Later on he was sentenced to fourteen years for shooting at a policeman. His observations of prison life became the stuff for "The Quare Fellow", a play about the hours preceding a hanging. It was produced first in the Pike Theatre in Dublin, then, in 1956, in London. "The play was a statement on the condition of the outcast and the emotions excited by barbaric revenge, rather than a piece of anti-capital-punishment propaganda" (MS Encarta). "The Hostage" was even more successful. Set in an Irish brothel, it was staged in Dublin in 1958. Behan's plays are marked by the use of "earthy dialogue and trenchant humour"

    Extractions: HUTCHINSON ENCYCLOPEDIA Behan, Brendan Francis Irish writer and dramatist, born in Dublin and educated by the Christian Brothers until the age of 14. Behan's extended family included many talented musicians and writers as well as Republican activists. An important figure of both controversy and literary brilliance, Behan is best known for his autobiography Borstal Boy (1958), based on his experiences of prison and knowledge of the workings of the IRA . These themes are revisited in his play The Quare Fellow (1954), and tragicomedy The Hostage (1958), first written in Gaelic as An Giall . Behan's other output included poetry in Gaelic, radio plays, and some late volumes of reminiscence and anecdote, notably Brendan Behan's New York Behan's plays are imbued with black humour and a grim realism it was largely Joan Littlewood's adaptation of The Hostage for the London stage which imparted to it a strong music-hall sensibility, which includes song and dance. After living a hard life of drinking and being a famous figure of the Dublin literary and pub scene, Behan died young and, many believe, before his best work could be produced.
