New Brendan Behan Tribute Site...

[willy]

Hi everyone!
This is my first posting here. I'd like to tell you about a website I have been working on as a tribute to the great Irish author and playwright (and excessive drinker!), Brendan Behan. There are no dedicated sites to Brendan on the www so I hope to do him justice. It is a sort of 'labour-of-love' non-profit site and I hope you can take time out of your schedule to have a look. Thanks in advance!

Saw "The Hostage" in college and it was energetic and meaningful.

This is my first posting here.Welcome to the LitNet forums then :wave:
a tribute to the great Irish author and playwright (and excessive drinker!), Brendan Behan.I will have to admit that I know of him more because of his drinking habits and the anecdotes they caused than for his other exploits. I'll definitely have a closer look at your site later today. :thumbs_up
