Vincent Woods
The play is set in County Leitrim and covers seven generations.
Set, in part, against a background of a famous paternity lawsuit taken by a Protestant woman against a Catholic priest in 1828, a story unravels over time, linking events and people over seven generations in a small rural community. Song of the Yellow Bittern is both a love story and a ghost story.
