Baile | Eolas | Déan Teagmháil Linn
Tom Murphy
1950s, the setting is a traditional, three-roomed, thatched cottage in the west of Ireland and a convent chapel.
Seamus is an odd-job man with ‘a great pair of hands’. He is given ‘a commission’ by the church to carve a statue. His previous work for the church was none too happy. However, he reluctantly accepts the commission and as he works on the statue his obsession with it grows: it comes to involve his family which is on the breadline – his wife, Mommo, and the three grandchildren they’ve inherited.
