The play takes place over several months in 1946. It is performed on two stages, the main area representing the Cassidy's living room, and the second area being used exclusively by the boys - and representing various outdoor locations.
The play is an historical account of the author's youth. It documents, through its carefully drawn characters, the effects of alienation on the immigrant Cassidy brothers and the difficult life faced by working-class people after World War ll. It demonstrates the trials imposed by their 'otherworldliness,' and their struggle to survive in a harsh new land, and find comfort for themselves and their families. The play, which is written with honesty, compassion and great insight, also covers the terrors and alienation experienced by the next generation. Peter Kenna's characters all have the spark of real life.
MATINEE PERFORMANCE: Sunday 22nd July. Performance commences at 2pm.
