CATHERINE My Will has visions. That is all. He doesn't live in the world as other men do.

For more than half a century Thomas Kilroy has been one of Ireland's most valuable writers and cultural presences. His original plays and brilliantly conceived adaptations have illuminated, invigorated and redefined Irish drama. Blake is a fictionalized account of the visionary poet's incarceration in a 19th-century London asylum.

It continues the author's exploration of the minds, and secret lives, of exceptional, often marginalized figures.
