A subtle, unsentimental lament for the working class in which a group of decorators misuse each other for their own advantage, Jimmy Murphy's Brothers of the Brush won the award for best new play when first performed at the Dublin Theatre Festival, 1993. Stuart Parker's Pentecost is a cry of compassion for the walking wounded of Belfast and articulates a hope for spiritual regeneration through personal grace.
