Praise for Brian Friel: Plays 2
Dancing at Lughnasa

Fathers and Sons (after Turgenev)
"A delicately written play that subtly alters the emphasis of Turgenev's book in the light of modern experience."—The Guardian
Making History
"This is Friel's most accomplished and important play since Translations . . . It has the same suppleness of argument and beauty of writing."—Financial Times
Wonderful Tennessee

Molly Sweeney
"A dramatic poem of cumulative power and irresistible poignancy."—The Observer
"Of all the contemporary authors, there is no one I admire more highly than Brian Friel . . . Molly Sweeney is magnificent, and I read it with great joy."—Peter Brook
