Justice, The: In the Times of the Hurry

Synopsis

Radio series in which contemporary writers reflect on the theme of Jaques’s ‘Seven Ages of Man’ speech in the form of dramatic monologues. In the fifth episode, Patrick McCabe introduces his contemporary take on ‘Justice’ which is set in the early 1970s, a time during which the London Irish community faced a degree of suspicion and hostility as IRA terrorist attacks in the capital created an anti-Irish backlash. Spoken by Stephen Rea.
