Premiered at Dublin’s Abbey Theatre, this multi-award-winning play is about five impoverished spinster sisters in a remote part of County Donegal in 1936. With them live Michael, seven-year-old son of the youngest sister, and Jack, the’sisters’ elder brother, a missionary priest newly returned from Africa. The even’s of that summer are narrated in recall by the adult Michael, unfolding a tender study of these women’s lives.
