The play is set in Commandant Frank Butler's living quarters - a detached house close to a small military barracks in a remote part of County Donegal. The action takes place in the living room and garden on a warm May evening and night.
Living Quarters reconstructs a day in the life of the Butler family in the village of Ballybeg. Frank Butler, who has served all his life in the Irish army, returns from United Nations service, a hero, to learn of his young wife's affair with his son from a previous marriage.
