Notes: | 1st published Gallery Press, Dublin, 1986 | |||||
Synopsis: | Bailegangaire is as complex and haunting as one of Yeats' later poems - A senile bedridden old woman rehearses over and over again an epic tale of a village laughing match - Meanwhile her two granddaughters struggle to release themselves from the prison of remembered unhappiness. Here is a potent allegory - of the need to exorcise the past and its myths if one is to be happy in the future. | |||||

Synopsis: | In Chekhov's tragi-comedy - perhaps his most popular play - the Gayev family is torn by powerful forces, forces rooted deep in history and in the society around them. Their estate is hopelessly in debt: urged to cut down their beautiful cherry orchard and sell the land for holiday cottages, they struggle to act decisively. Tom Murphy's fine vernacular version allows us to re-imagine the events of the play in the last days of Anglo-Irish colonialism. It gives this great play vivid new life within our own history and social consciousness. | |||||

"The macabre business of blight and death, of wakes and murder, of poisoned love and lost hope, and the scandal of an emigration policy that was in effect one of transportation. . .are some of the modern Irish theatre's most powerful and poetic scenes."

Synopsis: | The language of the play is on a sort of inspired bender. It surfeits on its own potency. Tom Murphy's gift - here and in his other plays - is at once to stimulate and destabilise. It's a thrilling and intense experience to sit in a theatre and hardly to know where you are or that anything exists beyond the stage in front of you. . .This is a dark, funny, consuming evening of high points, breaking points, hangovers and hints - uncertain hints - of hope (Observer) | |||||

Synopsis: | Summertime, and the emigrant workers, dressed in new suits and dreams, are returning home for the annual sojourn. They are young, vigorous, they have money in their pockets. But they do not belong here any more - and they do not belong abroad. They are resentful and dangerous. None more so than the seemingly gregarious Christy Cavanagh. His childhood fixation with Mrs de Burca and her daughters becomes a frightening obsession when he finds that the date has been set for the auctioning of their house, and his bid to possess heaven has tragic consequences. | |||||

With his career at make-or-break point, Christopher's family is not helping. A marvellously inventive play full of compassion and humour. | |||||
