At any rate, excellent plays in this volume.
Patriots : Set in the doldrums just before the Troubles. An incarcerated revolutionary is freed, only to find Ireland has become a nation of shopkeepers who couldn't care less about Self Rule.
The Whiteheaded Boy : The favored ("white-headed") son returns home a failure, to the frustration of his (many) siblings who have put their lives on hold so that all money could go towards his education.
Crabbed Youth and Age : A bit of a riff on one of the complaints in the previous play: three sisters of marriageable age who are still waiting their turn to land a husband - because their mother keeps stealing the affections of every man or boy who sets foot in their house.
The Big House : A fallen family in their huge ancestral home are caught in the middle of the conflict between the Irish nationals and the Black-and-Tans. Rather political and anti-political at the same time.
Drama at Inish : A theatre troupe specializing in Russian plays sets up shop in a seaside vacation town, inspiring the residents to discover new pathos in their hitherto humdrum lives. Highly recommended.
Church Street : Bit of a meta-play going on here.
