A quiet ensemble drama set in rural Ireland in 1833, it explores the troubled lives of characters struggling to adjust to the shifting dynamics of the world around them, which is undergoing quiet, but radical changes as the hard fist of British regulation seeks to impose itself on local tradition. The difference in language, which seems a barrier that cannot be broken, eventually is overcome as loyalties move from English/Irish to personal relationships.
All scheduled performances are posted on the KC Irish Events calendar
