Janet Behan: Brendan, Brian, Kathleen and Me

The daughter of Brian and the niece of Brendan, Janet Behan is a playwright, actress and seaside gardener. She’s also thoughtful, funny and occasionally potty mouthed*.

We talk Brendan and the IRA, Brian and the Communist Party, republicanism, booze and fame, typecasting, women writing in their sixties and her plays “Brendan At The Chelsea”, “Why Shouldn’t I Go” and the forthcoming “Kathleen and Me”.

Plus Paddy O’Keeffe raises George Bernard Shaw onto The Plastic Pedestal.

*Nothing your average fourteen year old couldn’t handle. Trust me.
