An essential text in the development of modern British dramaFirst staged by Joan Littlewoods Theatre Workshop company at the Theatre Royal; Stratford East; London; in 1958; The Hostage is a play about a Cockney soldier held as a hostage in a Dublin lodging house in exchange for an IRA man who is to be hanged in Belfast. Civic Guards accidentally shoot him in a raid on the house. It is a witty and often profound comment on Anglo-Irish relationships and on the Irish themselves. This is Behans best-known and most popular play and a classic of the modern stage.A magnificent entertainment which "crowds in tragedy and comedy; bitterness and love; caricature and portrayal; ribaldry and eloquence; patriotism and cynicism..." (Harold Hobson; The Times)

I appreciate the great variety and the different techniques you can learn by playing the pieces. Theyre not too difficult for an early intermediate to intermediate pianist. I can play from this book for hours at a time. It was just what I was looking for!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great for Early-to-Medium LearnersBy AZ kwusuMy kids piano teacher recommended this book. There are three volumes in all. The kids love it and I like to hear them play the diverse selection of classical piano pieces in it. I would recommend if you are serious about learning to play some great yet simple classical pieces.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
