Brian Friel is a playwright and, more recently, director of his own works from Ireland who now resides in County Donegal.

Friel was born in Omagh County Tyrone, the son of Patrick "Paddy" Friel, a primary school teacher and later a borough councillor in Derry, and Mary McLoone, postmistress of Glenties, County Donegal (Ulf Dantanus provides the most detail regarding Friel's parents and grandparents, see Books below). He received his education at St. Columb's College in Derry and the seminary at St. Patrick's College, Maynooth (1945-48) from which he received his B.A., then he received his teacher's training at St. Mary's Training College in Belfast, 1949-50. He married Anne Morrison in 1954, with whom he has four daughters and one son; they remain married. From 1950 until 1960, he worked as a Maths teacher in the Derry primary and intermediate school system, until taking leave in 1960 to live off his savings and pursue a career as writer. In 1966, the Friels moved from 13 Malborough Street, Derry to Muff, County Donegal, eventually settling outside Greencastle, County Donegal.

He was appointed to the Irish Senate in 1987 and served through 1989. In 1989, BBC Radio launched a "Brian Friel Season", a series devoted a six-play season to his work, the first living playwright to be so distinguished. In 1999 (April-August), Friel's 70th birthday was celebrated in Dublin with the Friel Festival during which ten of his plays were staged or presented as dramatic readings throughout Dublin; in conjunction with the festival were a conference, National Library exhibition, film screenings, outreach programs, pre-show talks, and the launching of a special issue of The Irish University Review devoted to the playwright; in 1999, he also received a lifetime achievement award from the Irish Times.

On 22 January 2006 Friel was presented with a gold Torc by President Mary McAleese in recognition of the fact that the members of Aosdána have elected him a Saoi. Only five members of Aosdána can hold this honour at any one time and Friel joined fellow Saoithe Louis leBrocquy, Benedict Kiely (d. 2007), Seamus Heaney and Anthony Cronin. On acceptance of the gold Torc, Friel quipped, "I knew that being made a Saoi, really getting this award, is extreme unction; it is a final anointment--Aosdana's last rites."

In November 2008, Queen's University of Belfast announced its intention to build a new theatre complex and research center to be named The Brian Friel Theatre and Centre for Theatre Research.

همین کار رو هم کرد. با تموم یه‌دندگی و عزم راسخی که فقط از یه آدم مردّد بر می‌آد.
[...]
همون آدم بامحبتی که مشت‌اش رو می‌کوبید روی میز و داد می‌زد:«مطمئنم حق با منه!»... بدون کوچک‌ترین اعتقادی به حرفی که می‌زد.

The deeper I get into Brian Friel's work, the more I expect to find plays that I don't care for. This has yet to happen, as each play, regardless of characters or setting, is full of lively and insightful dialogue. This play, set in a single conversation at a table in a cafe, finds two people getting to know one another, blending truth with lie, and then having to backtrack on lies as they become untenable. It's a simple but well executed concept, natural and never forced, and with an ambiguity at the end that was very much like another Friel play, "The Yalta Game." A very good read.

Friel, in questo brevissimo atto unico (il libro è di 126 pagine, ma il testo vero e proprio è di 31 pagine) fa incontrare due diversi personaggi di due diverse commedie di Cechov: Sonja, la nipote di "Zio Vania" e Andrej, il fratello delle "Tre Sorelle" - e li fa incontrare in un caffé fatiscente di Mosca, di notte, "vent'anni dopo". Come in un romanzo Steampunk i due si trovano a dialogare del passato e del presente. Non succede molto altro, ma è la rarefazione, il non-detto che fa tutto il testo. Poi visto che si tratta di teatro, sì lo leggi. Ma gli attori e il palco e la visione "viva" sono la situazione ottimale per apprezzarne il ritmo e la riuscita dell'operazione.
Fosse più tradotto in italiano Brian Friel, leggerei volentieri anche qualcos'altro.
