    It was a policy during the early years of the Ulster Literary Theatre not to name actors in programmes.

    James McKinstry, a student, is home on holidays at his father's farm in County Antrim, and keen to introduce co-operative farming to the locale. Calling a mass meeting of local villagers to do so, he finds his attempt merely ends in sectarian fighting and by the play's end James is entirely disheartened.
