A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE PLAY
Tom Connolly lives with his alcoholic wife, Daisy, in an old and unmistakably run-down house in rural Ireland. They have a house guest, David, who has been sent from a University of Texas to study Tom’s archive with a view to the University Library purchasing his complete writings. The couple’s daughter, Bridget, is mentally ill and has been institutionalized for years. Their already hard lives are made more difficult still by financial difficulties. In anticipation of David’s final verdict, which will determine both the literary value of Tom’s work and whether the couple’s finance will ever improve, Daisy’s mother, a retired doctor with arthritis, and her father, a kleptomaniac ex-bar pianist, show up at the house. They are all joined by a family friend, Garret, an arrogant, commercially successful author and his wife Grainne.
