The playwright Brian Friel has just turned eightyand is widely regarded as one of the greatest living dramatists. Friel, from Omagh, had his first short story published by the Dublin magazine The Bell in 1951 and his first stage play A Doubtful Paradise was produced by the Group Theatre in Belfast in 1960.

Since then he has produced a body of work which has established his international reputation including Philadelphia Here I Come, Faith Healer, Dancing at Lughnasa, Translations, Making History as well as versions of plays by Chekhov and Ibsen.

Marie-Louise spoke to his friend and fellow Field Day Theatre Company founder the writer and academic Seamus Deane and the journalist and commentator Fintan O'Toole who has written extensively on Friel.
