It is 1936 and harvest time in County Donegal. In a house just outside the village of Ballybeg live the five Mundy sisters, barely making ends meet, their ages ranging from twenty-six up to forty. The two male members of the household are brother Jack, a missionary priest, repatriated from Africa by his superiors after 25 years, and the seven-year-old child of the youngest sister. In depicting two days in the life of this menage, Brian Friel evokes not simply the interior landscape of a group of human beings trapped in their domestic situation, but the wider landscape, interior and exterior, C… (más)

Surprisingly easy to read as a - Play. I nearly didn’t, thinking it wouldn’t flow, but it did and I quickly got used to reading directions and narration as one. Lovely story of five unwed Irish sisters living together on a shoestring in Ballybeg. They have all the usual struggles of not having enough money yet kept themselves happy with an unreliable, battery radio and their love of music. (

Read for my OU course.

I would be interested to see this performed in the theatre, although all the music/dancing might become a bit tiresome. (

I enjoyed it overall, but I think I liked the film better. Felt weird to read the climactic scene of the film in the first half of the play. Father Jack comes out better in this, at least. I appreciated the narrowed focus of scenery and how storytelling played a crucial role in moving along the plot. The narration threw me off, though. (

Short and sweet. I enjoyed this one. (

Rather melancholy look at the passing of a way of life through a single family. Even Father Jack can be seen as the symbol of the waning of the priests' authority with his heretical beliefs. And perhaps Gerry Evans could be a metaphor of British interest in Ireland -- he comes and flirts and dazzles some of them but in the end, he marries a nice Welsh girl leaving his bastard son in Ireland to make his way on his own.
