  A play about the life of Father Theobald Mathew, whose crusade led to the virtual elimination of alcohol abuse in mid-19th century Ireland. Despite his success in convincing three million Irish to pledge abstinence, the Capuchin friar was also embroiled in financial, political and ethical woes. The play explores Father Mathew’s struggles and honours his achievements as a social reformer, revolutionary thinker and charismatic leader.
