"Nannie's Night Out"
View through CrossRef
SEAN O'CASEY is surely wise in preferring "Kathleen Listens In" to "Nannie's Night Out," though it is an exaggeration for him to declare to Robert Hogan that the latter play is "rather negligible" as drama. Compared to such imaginative essays in the one-act form as "Time To Go" and "Hall of Healing," however, it is not difficult to see why the author is perhaps overcritical of his earlier effort. My purpose here is to examine "Nannie's Night Out" in more detail than Dr. Hogan could do in his recent article, showing in particular the playas a link between O'Casey's earlier and his later plays.
