ECHO Seminar: London Irish

You are cordially invited to another exciting ECHO episode this Tuesday at 4pm. This one concerns mentality and mental health, plays and playing dead, sectarianism and sectioning, involving two Irishmen in London separated by much when it comes to centuries and temperament, but connected by exile and self-exile: George Farquhar and Samuel Beckett. As ever connecting papers from our stimulating visiting and home speakers will be followed by wine and discussion. Do please further invitations to all who might be interested.
