In 1950’s Ireland, family means everything. So when Eveline Donnelly abandons her dream of a university education to care for her widowed father, it seems only right and natural. But as she watches her younger sister prepare to leave home, a visit from her mother’s ghost makes Evie begin to ask, “When is it my turn?”
“A wonderfully accessible and tremendously vibrant drama about love, loss, and family ties, Noble’s play recalls the anguished beauty of Williams’ The Glass Menagerie.’” – Chicago SunTimes
“There are no high-flying theatrics or overwrought scenes, only blissful storytelling that triggers one’s innermost longings, and the hearty Irish folk humor blends effortlessly with the glorious poetry of Noble’s words.” – Chicago NewCity
“A stunning display of fantastic writing, the story of the play winds and trips through a masterfully crafted labyrinth of complicated relationships; it was a breath of fresh air, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.” – LAsplash Magazine
