My Brother Tom

A Country Comedy in Three Acts

Forbhreathnú

  • Drámadóir

    St. John Greer Ervine 

  • Suíomh

    Donaghreagh, "between the wars".

  • Achoimre

    A comedy in which Joe Luke's return as a prodigal son to his native family in Donaghreagh after twenty years away causes much excitement. Having originally left a trail of debt and ill-feeling behind him, Joe now must face the consequences. In the process, his family's affection, natural good will and prejudices are thoroughly tested - not least those of his kindly brother Tom.
