The —, 1958 stage play by Brendan Behan (7)

I believe the answer is:

hostage

(Other definitions for hostage that I've seen before include "Person held by kidnapper for ransom" , "One caught" , "Person held by kidnappers" , "Kidnap victim" , "One held for ransom" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
