- Summary
- Dublin. The night before Christmas and Mrs. and Mrs. Walls are preparing for the arrival of their son Joseph and his new bride, Mary, from London. "George Bernard Shaw wrote: I have not yet found real homes except in very stupid families to whom a house is a world.' The tragedy was when, as in his own family -- or Stella's in The Walls -- intelligent people attempt to make a house their world. Shaw turned his own childhood tragedy into comedy but the comedy retained -- as does Colin Teevan's -- sharp pathos of emotions and ambitions thwarted and lonely lives unfulfilled" (Clare Boylan)
