Forbhreathnú

  • Drámadóir

    Brinsley MacNamara 

  • Suíomh

    The sitting-room of Miss Diana Gilsenan's house at 67 Mornington Square, Dublin
    The drawing-room of Mr. Richard Gilsenan's residence at Cushionstown, Co. Westmeath.

  • Achoimre

    A comedy about an Anglo-Irish family who use the reputation of their 'Grand House in the City' as capital to finance the family home in the country. The Gilsenans are a dying breed, but for now they scrape by on a presumption of wealth and talent for self-deception.
