Brian Friel Philadelphia, Here I Come Paperback Book

Fed up with the dreary round of life in Ballybeg, with his uncommunicative father and the humiliating job in his fathers grocery shop, with his frustrated love for Kathy Doogan who married a richer, more successful young man and with the total absence of prospect and opportunity in his life at home, Gareth ODonnell has accepted his aunts invitation to come to Philadelphia. Now, on the eve of his departure, he is not happy to be leaving Ballybeg. With this play Brian Friel made his reputation and it is now an acknowledged classic of modern drama. | Brian Friel Philadelphia, Here I Come Paperback Book
