DELAYED ACTION
"THE justice of any secret organisation is often based on a stricter code than that of normal society, and one more rigidly enforced; and so it was in Ireland during the Troubles. This Day in Fear, the play to be broadcast from YAs and 4YZ on Monday, November 2, shows the justice of the I.R.A. at work; it is not enough for a man to be killed, but he must also be told of the plans for his death, so that he will spend a day . in the shadows of that knowledge. The play begins with James Coogan informing the police of the whereabout of Seamus O’Connor, an I.R.A. leader escaped from prison, O’Connor dies, and
his comrades swear to avenge his death. Five years later James Coogan is in England, and celebrating with his wife the news that he has passed the examinations that will give him a new
career. He has broken completely with his past. Then a visitor shows him the morning’s paper, in which is an In Memoriam notice for Seamus O’Connor and beneath it one for James Coogan. This Day in Fear was produced by Bernard Beeby for the NZBS and James Coogan is played by Antony Groser,
