“‘There were three b*****kses in a cell in Lebanon.?An Englishman, an Irishman and an American.?Why they were in that cell was anybody’s guess and why they were in Lebanon was their own guess.”
Inspired by the plight of the Beirut hostages in the late 1980’s, Frank McGuinness’s play is a brilliant portrayal of three desperate men in a desperate situation.
Funny, poignant and honest, the play explores the fears and dreams of men captive for years with no access to the outside world and little hope of release.
