A BLUE plaque is to be unveiled to honour a man described as one of the great playwrights of the 20th century, Sean O'Casey, at his last home in St Marychurch, Torquay.

“Sean's obituary in the New York Times read: "From earliest days in the drab streets and two-story brick boxes of Dublin slums until his aging years of self-driven British exile amid the red earth and salt air of Torquay, this gaunt fiery writer never abandoned his faith in the dignity of man."
