Frank McMahon (September 20, 1919 – December 22, 1984) Born in New York in 1919, to Irish parents, his mother from Mayo and his father from Roscommon. After graduating from Fordham University, McMahon served as an officer in the United States Navy during World War 11. Following a successful career as an executive with NBC and MCA, McMahon moved to Ireland in 1961 where he worked with the newly established Radio Telefís Éireannn (RTÉ). In the mid-sixties McMahon was commissioned by Tomás Mac Anna, Artistic Director of the Abbey Theatre, to adapt Brendan Behan's 1958 book, ''Borstal Boy'', for stage. The highly critically acclaimed production, directed by Mac Anna, was staged at the Abbey Theatre in 1967 and became the longest running play in the history of the Abbey Theatre. Following a Broadway run of ''Borstal Boy'' in 1969, McMahon was awarded the 1970 New York Drama Critics Tony Award for Best Play. McMahon later founded the publishing company, ''Four Masters'', which published works including, in 1975, ''James Connolly, Portrait of a Rebel Father'' by Connolly's daughter, Nora Connolly O'Brien, and ''Alive, Alive-oh'' by John Molloy. McMahon also wrote ''Gandhi: The Fiery Gates'' for the Abbey, and ''James Connolly'', a documentary for television. ==External links==
