The Loves of Cass Maguire

Forbhreathnú

  • Drámadóir

    Brian Friel 

  • Suíomh

    Set in Eden House, a home for the elderly and in Harry Maguire's livingroom. Time: the present(1966).

  • Achoimre

    For more than fifty years Cass McGuire has worked a block from Skid Row, among deadbeats and washouts -- people who live in the past. This play deals with her return to Ireland and her genteel family's rejection of her. It follows her lonely struggle to re-discover the home she's dreamt of all her life and her eventual surrender to the makebelieve of Eden House.
