Leonard's sequel to Hom's Night and Night Effect Dark makes him leave adolescence and rise to prominence in Dublin's theater world in the 1960s and 1970s, a time when he sees a lot of plays, novels and scenarios. Which is celebrated.

Leonard portrays a period of intense artistic and cultural turmoil in Ireland, with anecdotes moving from the play, as well as bulletins from Patrick Kafana and Brenda Behan. The result is a clever analysis of Dublin and Dubliners by one of the best playwrights in Ireland..
