An Olivier and Tony Award-winning play, the story is set in rural Donegal in 1936. Here, the five Mundy sisters, with barely a penny between them, become embroiled in a domestic situation involving Catholicism and paganism.

The two men of the household - brother Jack, a retired missionary priest, and Michael, the seven-year-old of the youngest sister - all add extra emotional weight and tender emotion to the tale, which is directed by Charles Nowosielski.
