    Hi I am looking at Brian Friel's even casted plays I read 'Wonderful Tennesse' and I thought it was very bland but I know there are a few others lik 'Give me an awnser,do?' and 'A month in the country'?

    "The Communication Cord" is good. It's a comic farce. Friel wrote it after "Translations" and like that play it deals with themes of language and communication but this time round done very much for laughs. I've not seen "Give Me Your Answer, Do", "A Month in the Country" is his version of the play by Ivan Turgenev.
