The Wexford Trilogy: A Handful of Stars; Poor Beast in the Rain; Belfry (NHB Modern Plays) - Softcover
Synopsis
A modern Irish classic, telling three separate but related tales of small-town life in southern Ireland: A Handful of Stars, Poor Beast in the Rain and Belfry.
Set in a snooker club, a betting shop and a local church, each play introduces a mix of young cornerboys, old cowboys and chancers of any age in a lyrical, poignant and often hilarious account of lost dreams and thwarted ambitions.
