This play is suitable for age 16 upwards and is relevant to the study of history, English and drama, religious education, education for mutual understanding and cultural heritage.
During the winter of 1858-59, the Great Religious Revival spread through County Antrim, bringing in its wake huge increases in prayer meetings and church attendances, wide-scale conversions and massive religious rallies. In the present day, two young people, one Protestant, one Catholic, are studying the Revival as part of a cross community project between their schools. Not everyone, however, thinks that this is the best way to learn about one's own history. This play uses the past and present to examine what happens in a family when the value systems of two generations collide.
