Dara gets dramatic

R3 role for O'Briain

Dara gets dramatic
Dara O Briain is to star in a highbrow Radio 3 drama about Irish writer Flann O’Brien.

The play, Your Only Man, will also reunite two stars of Father Ted: Ardal O’Hanlon and Pauline McLynn

Absurist writer O’Brien – whose real name was Brian O’Nolan – was a civil servant in Dublin during the Thirties and Forties, and regularly wrote for the Irish Times under the name Myles na gCopaleen. He also wrote books under his O’Brien pseudonym.

Your Only Man has been written by dramatist Annie Caulfield, and will air on August 31.

It is being produced by comic actor Gordon Kennedy through his independent company Absolutely Productions.
