Beskrivning

A major play from a major Irish playwright "Bailegangaire is as complex and haunting as one of Yeats' later poems ...A senile bedridden old woman rehearses over and over again an epic tale of a village laughing match ...Meanwhile her two granddaughters struggle to release themselves from the prison of remembered unhappiness. Here is a potent allegory - of the need to exorcise the past and its myths if one is to be happy in the future." (Sunday Telegraph)

Recensioner i media

The remarkable 1985 play that helped to put Tom Murphy up alongside Brian Friel as one of the great masters of modern Irish playwriting. Scotsman Murphy ... is among Irelamd's greatest living dramatists. Bailegangaire ... can only further enhance his reputation. Sunday Herald Murphy's writing has the emotional weight and the intellectual athleticism of James Joyce and Samuel Beckett. Sunday Herald
