Synopsis
"One of the greatest Irish plays of the century" (Irish Times)
"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)
