This play was first performed at Dublin’s Abbey Theatre, and subsequently with great success in London and New York.
Set in a remote part of County Donegal in 1936, it features an impoverished family of five spinsters and their elder brother, a missionary priest returned from a long period in Africa. The events of that summer are recalled by the son of the youngest sister, in a tender, humorous and poignant evocation of the relationships within the household and with the community outside.
The Times said of this play “we are in the thrall of as masterly a dramatist as the theatre possesses”.
Special Thanks to Eric Farlie, Pat Macready, and to Malcolm Hobbs of the Wheathampstead Dramatic Society.
