  • Nótaí

    In 1935 the subsequent US production of Within the Gates was banned by the Catholic Mayor of Boston, putting a stop to a scheduled tour of thirteen cities.

    "Oh, God, here it is again! Wesleyen and Jesuit had joined hands to down the play. It seemed that even under a free democracy one had to be damned careful of what one said."
    O'Casey

    Set in Hyde Park, the characters represent the great variety of humanity who spend their days there philosophising.
