Bøker av Billy Roche

A major release from Initial films for Channel Four starring Stephen Rea and Richard Harris. Award-winning writer Billy Roche and director Gillies Mackinnon create a strange compelling world on the edge of society

Set in rural Ireland of the early 60s, this work takes us into the burlesque world of Delaney's Travelling Roadshow and in particular its boxing hall where prizefighter Dean takes on all comers on a nightly basis. That is, until a challenge from a professional fighter upsets the apple-cart.
