Reference: Who Fears to Speak of Easter Week - different versions? Reference information: The version with the reference to the 'G.P.O.' seems to be an adaptation. Compare it with this: http://www.musicanet.org/robokopp/eire/whofeart.htm https://genius.com/Brendan-behan-who-fears-to-speak-of-easte... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days7 hrs (2017-10-01 11:03:51 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- - and, as the second of these links indicates, this version is itself based on an earlier poem by John Kells Ingram. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 days (2017-10-08 16:01:23 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Likewise, I knew nothing about this when I saw the film many years ago! |
