Synopsis
From the author of Dancing at Lughnasa comes a new play.
Gathered together in the remote County Donegal home of novelist Tom Connolly and his alcoholic wife, Daisy, are David Knight, a visiting scholar who is valuing Tom's manuscripts and, by inference, his work; Garret Fitzmaurice, a commercially successful author whose marriage to the contemptuous Grainne is on the verge of disintegration; and Daisy's parents - her dapper, kleptomaniacal father and embittered, arthritic mother. Absent from the occasion, but palpable in her very absence, is the Connolly's mentally ill daughter, Bridget. In an evening fraught with recriminations, evasions, and painful revelations, a tale of professional rivalry, private despair, marital unhappiness, and sacrifice unfolds. As these wounded souls engage in their self-mocking, acerbic verbal duels, layers of defensive posturing are slowly stripped away, exposing each character's hopes, fears, and fragility, and the uncertainty and self-doubt at the heart of the very human quest for recognition.

Synopsis
Tom and Daisy are visited by an American agent who might purchase Tom's papers, and by Garret Fitzmaurice and his wife, whose marriage might break up. Daisy makes a toast to "the Necessary Uncertainty", suggesting that only when we accept that uncertainty is central to living, can we carry on.
