Summary
  • Behind the green curtains: A morality play which dramatizes a fight for the hearts and minds of Reena and Chatastray, between Beoman, a factory foreman, and Kornavaun, a church "strong man" who represents the repression of religion, the state and the capitalist class.
  • Figuro in the night: Set in Dublin, the appearance of a mysterious statue leads to a generational shift in this mythic story in which the freedom of youth clashes with a repressed older generation.
  • The moon shines on Kylenamoe: This delightful farce depicts the antics of the townspeople in a small Irish town as they come up against an aloof wealthy Englishman.
