Friel’s play has been performed all over the world since its premiere by Field Day in 1980. Director Caitríona McLaughlin highlights its universality, avoiding sentimentality, with designers Joanna Parker (set) and Paul Keogan (lighting) creating a strikingly abstract stage picture: a sloping ridge evoking a cottage roof against a summer night’s sky.

Joanna Parker’s sloping set roots even the play’s loftier words and ideas in a muddy reality, while Paul Keogan’s bewitching lighting seems to gather the audience into this not-quite-historical, not-quite-mythical world to absorbing effect.
