The action takes place in a lounge at Dublin Airport. Josie Collins is desperate to flee her husband and the life he has made for her. “… I walked around the house. I said: ‘This isn’t good enough. I do things I don’t want to, I go to places I wouldn’t be found dead in, and I live the life of a dummy. And he can’t stand me.’ ” She’s booked on a plane to London but the late arrival of the incoming aircraft gives her husband the chance to catch up with her at the airport. Can he – or student priest Father Campion – persuade her to return home? “How cowardly it is to put one’s soul into the custody of others”.
