		Leonard deftly illustrates this with a scene of young Charlie making time with a "bad" girl, known to all the boys as "the Yellow Peril" (Elizabeth McNamara).
		Clumsily coming on to her as they sit on the Dublin seawall, Charlie is appalled when his da ambles past and soon engages the young girl in conversation, realizing he knows all her relatives and drawing out her real name, Mary Tate.

		This is a wonderful play in which Leonard explores his relationship with his Da (a Dublin boys name for his father, pronounced with an "a" as in "at" and not as in "all") It was made into a film starring Martin Sheen, and that is best avoided.
		The character of Leonard as a boy with his father, and as an older man, returned for his father's funeral are played on stage by the same actor, who switches cleverly between the two roles.
		At one moment he is a wide eyed child who hangs on every word of his father, believing without question and revering his Da.

The play proceeds by anecdotes and episodes, some funny, some sad, all telling.
		Leonard makes the pas sage of time itself a major character in Da.
		As Da, Hughes is an expansive field marshal of lifelong defeat who acts with the authority of an uncaged lion.

	The Methuen Bookshop > Wild People by Hugh Leonard
		Hugh Leonard's ebullient first novel throws us into the world of TJ Quill, who, not entirely on purpose, has become the archivist for the late great Western filmmaker Sean O'Fearna.
		A Wild People is the perfect antidote to Frank McCourt-style Oirish whimsy, sideswiping at stereotypes as it walks the line between life's comic absurdity and its darker depths.
		Both tender and uncompromising, its biting humour reveals Leonard's shockingly accurate insight into the fallibility of the human heart.
