Synopsis: | In the words of George Jean Nathan, the play "deals with the Catholic Church in Ireland. Its theme lies in the ramifications of faith as practiced by the Church's various constituents. . .faith that, for all its sincerity, has drifted from its deepest moorings, and the manner in which a true, steadfast, innocent, and unselfish believer, a young girl, brings the contentious others, through the uncorrupted purity and simplicity of her own faith, back to first principles. And the role of the young girl, a little caretaker in the house of the canon, though built out of materials that in cruder hands would quickly betray their spirit and such a restrained gentility of writing ink that, if it is cast at all appropriately, it can hardly fail to dig into an audience's emotions. The straw out of which Carroll has fabricated his bricks and built his play is of a superior quality, and his dramatic structure, as a consequence, mounts aloft with eloquence and power." | |||||

Synopsis: | as told by Kerr, "Canon Daniel McCooey, a potato-faced old fellow with a sheep's head of hair, has been working far too many 'miracles' for his Bishop's peace of mind. He's been talking to birds and animals, for one thing ('If only I'd studied some one besides St. Francis,' mourns the unlucky parish priest), and he's somehow or other managed to get a cherry tree to produce plums. Though he isn't at all proud of himself and regards the gossip that he is a saint as a scandal, he still must be hustled out of sight. The pained Bishop. . .deposits him in a remote country rectory that's a 'sweet little hole, but terrible out of the way,' deprives him of his beloved animals, and puts him to work knitting ecclesiastical socks. . .A mysterious baron with a faint odor of sulphur about him, turns up, a friendly lion strolls in at the garden window, the padre learns a few new tricks from the baron and begins to preen himself on his supernatural powers, and-well, at eleven o'clock he's perched in a chair ten feet off the floor be | |||||

Notes: | - | |||||
Synopsis: | A stirring play by one of Ireland's outstanding dramatists. Produced in New York. An eloquent and passionate work, in the best of the Irish theatrical tradition. "A dramatic work of striking interest. . .lovely and moving. . .As usual in his plays, Mr. Carroll is preoccupied with the spiritual state of troubled and contemporary Ireland. . .The chief antagonists are a priest, this time one who has been 'silenced' by the Church, and an atheist, here a violent young radical, who had fought against Fascism in Spain and had learned to place his reliance in the use of force. There is a lot of rich humor in the play, but it is basically serious and tragic." -NY Post | |||||
