LILT

This tale exists as a short story entitled ‘Two in One’ (first published in The Bell in July 1954) and as an unproduced teleplay (the MS is in the Boston College archive). LILT’s version combines these with Eamon Morrissey’s performance from his one-man show The Brother. The Irish Film and Television Network reports that producer Michael Garland is apparently developing a film version. The quintessentially ‘Flannish’ scenario encompasses issues of identity and over-reaching, while its ‘doubled’ protagonist harks back to Dostoyevsky, and reverberates throughout Modernist literature and art.
