This stand-alone volume in the Currency Modern Drama Series includes four plays: 'Crossfire', by Jennifer Compton; 'The Christian Brothers', by Ron Blair; 'A Happy and Holy Occasion', by John O'Donoghue; and 'Inner Voices', by Louis Nowra. " . . . covering 1975-77, years of consolidation for some, disappointment for others, the authors take stock of the progress of reform. In 'Crossfire's' critique of feminism; in the 'Christian Brothers' satire of Catholic education; in 'A Happy and Holy Occasion's' portrait of Irish obsequiousness and superstition; and 'Inner Voices' allegory of the ignorant in power, the plays express their writers' disillusion with the past and impatience for reconsideration . . .
