A highly anticipated American premiere by one of the theater's most insightful playwrights. Set in a big house in Ireland at the end of the 19th century, this gorgeously written play is the story of a landlord and his son whose lives come undone when their English cousin arrives. In his typical style, Friel combines a personal story with a vivid picture of a society at a point of significant change.
"...vividly paints Irish history while telling a compelling story with a sense of immediacy in the process. The end result is a fulfilled drama that thrills with intelligence."
- Quinton Skinner, Variety (October 3, 2007)
"A moving portrait of intrusion, fear, oppression ... Dowling and his cast are intensely in sync with the rhythms of the play." - Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune (October 21, 2007)
