The flyers featured two panels with stylized Lichtenstein drawings, one with the necessary information about auditions, the other attempting to move the play beyond early-twentieth century provincialism by emphasizing its basic draws: “Sex, Lies, and Patricide—in Beautiful Ireland!” Still, whatever the visceral appeal of the play, Spillane-Hinks maintains...
