Synopsis
In a wind-battered Mayo cottage, playwright Jack Ferris tries to salvage something from his broken love affair with Catherine Adams. Drink and despair drove her away; can his imagination call her back? But as he summons up her past, Jack finds he has also called up Catherine's RUC father and a whole dangerous world of opposed traditions.

Product Description
Set in the West of Ireland, this story opens at a moment of crisis in the life of playwright Jack Ferris, when misunderstandings, alcohol and despair have driven his actress lover Catherine away. Two worlds - one Presbyterian, the other Catholic - are recreated from the past.
Review
"For this wonderful celebration and lament creates its own hunger, its own momentum" (Independent)
"The way Mr. Healy has orchestrated things, the story of Catherine and Jack -- and of Ireland -- has two distinct outcomes. Both are beautiful, sad and convincing." (New York Times)
