Your Only Man

By Annie Caulfield. A play imagining what might have happened had the author Brian O'Nolan's two alter egos, Flann O'Brien and Myles na gCopaleen, got together.

By Annie Caulfield.

Brian O'Nolan was an Irish writer, columnist and civil servant who wrote novels such as The Third Policeman under the pen name of Flann O'Brien and popular satirical newspaper columns as Myles na gCopaleen, while at the same time working as a civil servant in Dublin under his real name. This play imagines what might have happened had the three of them got together on the day when O'Nolan was asked to leave his civil service post.
