This might be one of those things where you need to be fully knowledgeable of the source material to make any sense of the play. Without a great working knowledge of Irish culture and history, I felt a little lost at times at what exactly was occurring. I'm sure a lot of the jokes and context went completely over my head.

I did enjoy "The Quare Fellow" a lot more than "The Hostage" though...
