Overview

In the mid-1970's a group of young men left their homes in the West of Ireland and sailed to England in the hope of making their fortunes and returning home. Twenty-five years later only Jackie Flavin makes it home, but does so in a coffin. Takes place on the day that the group meet up to drink to Jackie Flavin's memory and look at their lives, lost dreams and their place in the new Ireland. The play contains strong language. Contained in the volume Jimmy Murphy: Two Plays with Brothers of the Brush.
