Set during World War 2, this play imaginatively sets into direct opposition two real-life Irishmen keen to pretend to be otherwise: Brendan Bracken, British MP and Minister for Information to the government of Winston Churchill, and Nazi propagandist William Joyce, better known as Lord Haw-Haw. In his preface to the play, Kilroy declares his intention to be to explore the ‘notion that two men who so spectacularly denied and concealed their native origins might dramatize the deformities of nationalism more effectively than two patriots.’
