The playwright shares the story of how the black comedy was born, from the first bizarre germ of idea that got him started, through to the casting, and the challenges that came with his decision to make the leader of Sinn Fein so central to his narrative. David's recollections also include details of his approach to writing, his feelings on the filming of theatrical productions generally, and his thoughts on the importance of catharsis and comedy when it comes to modern plays
