Richard Smith News

A legendary Irish rebel writer at his best inspires the critically acclaimed one-man sensation A Broth of a Boy, the staged life chronicle uniting the scripts, stories and song of notorious IRA renegade Brendan Behan. Arguably the most colorful Irish writer of the twentieth century, A Broth of a Boy brings to light Behan's stormy career, famed for his boisterous behavior as much as for humor, power and compassionate writings. Based on Behan's own words, this Irish cultural experience is adapted for the stage and directed by Richard Smithies, produced by Cead Mile Failte Productions from September 25th through October 7th, at The Arsenal Center for the Arts Black Box Theater, 321 Arsenal Street, Watertown.
