Dancing at Lughnasa - Brian Friel Friel creates a powerful kind of irony by this fascinating and effective device which allows the narrator to relate the sad endings to the lives of the characters who are holding on to their tatters of hope and optimism.

Two of a Kind - CSO Magazine - October 2003 Friel and Todd both have numerous contacts in Atlantic City and Las Vegas, and they'll frequently get a phone call from a contact alerting them to a new scam or notifying them that a well-known crook was spotted at the Philadelphia airport and may be working his way up the East Coast. Todd describes the relationship that often exists between the two departments in other casinos as being hampered by "a CIA mentality," where information-sharing between departments is poor because everyone wants to be the hero who gets credit for busting up a scam or handling a security problem. Todd credits some of that success to the fact that security and surveillance work hand-in-hand at his casino—a situation that he says is not the norm at most establishments. www.csoonline.com /read/100103/kind.html   (3215 words)

Twentieth Century Literature: Monoogue as dramatic action in Brian Friel's 'Faith Healer' and 'Molly Sweeney.' While Friel simply has no choice but to write in English if he is to reach a broad audience, he does so ironically and in order to point out the enforced nature of his choice. By replacing action with narration, Friel not only critiques the Irish penchant for oratory, but he also dramatizes his contention that events are meaningful mainly insofar as they become stories, fictions told by their participants. Friel's gains demonstrate his tightly controlled yet innovative ability to embody his ideas onstage. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m0403/is_1_45/ai_54895478   (1349 words)

They said, "Anna, we've got a little problem with your stomach, it's not looking quite right on screen." I said, "What do you mean, it's not looking right?" That's the most stupid thing, and so dangerous to say to a girl, especially, you know how many people have eating disorders. www.ugo.com /channels/filmtv/features/mewithoutyou/interview_anna.asp   (3626 words)
