    Fresh from an apparently successful acting career abroad, Michael has returned to his old home town; back to the youth club-turned-pub where he and his friends once hashed out their plans for the future. That pub, 'The White House', stood as a place where free thought was possible for the young people of the town, away from the church and from the school. Now, though, the reunited friends are tied down to the realities of their lives after youth has given way to slow but steady decay, and as the evening wanes to night, their true lack of direction becomes clear through muddled conversations as pints are poured and drank. Standing over all of this are the absent bar owner JJ and his beloved portrait of the late JFK, both fallen heroes from an idealistic and idealised time now long gone. 'Conversations on a Homecoming' was first performed by the Druid Theatre Company, Galway, on 16 April 1985.

    It will be a lean Christmas now that the villagers have failed to sell their wares at the market in the town. Glum, they gather in John Mahony's shop-cum-pub to sing songs, drink a little and worry for the season ahead. Among them is Costello, a gregarious man, full of laughter, who has seen the world perhaps a little more than the others and knows how to hold their attention. When a stranger and his wife enter the inn, a peculiar challenge emerges: that he, the stranger, is a better laugher than Costello. Betting begins on this uncanny contest, with stakes so high it becomes a matter of life or death for Costello, for the stranger, and for Mahony in whose house they convive. 'A Thief of a Christmas' was first produced at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, in December 1985.

    The uprooted Carney family live in Coventry, England. Michael, the eldest, is the exception to the cult of violence that prevails; he would live a civilised life. But he has taken the tragic step: thinking to influence his brothers, he has brought them to live with him and his English wife in his Coventry home. And now two more are arriving from Ireland to descend on him. 'A Whistle in the Dark' was first produced by the Theatre Royal, Stratford East, in 1961.

    An epic family drama about greed and control, telling the tragic story of the disintegration of a family, along with their estate and way of life. Arina is an ambitious woman. As a servant girl, she marries in to the degenerative family she works for; her ruthless energy saves it from bankruptcy and she expands the family estate into a land empire. Now, as a severe and hardened matriarch, she rules with an iron hand and insatiable avarice, competently managing every inch of her empire - until she begins to question herself. Resigning her power and dividing her lands between her children, she sees the family and the estate crumbling before her eyes.

    In Tom Murphy's adaptation of Chekhov's tragicomedy of inertia and loss an aristocratic family cling to their sheltered lives in a picturesque estate while the forces of social change beat on the walls outside. Completely bankrupt, Lyubov Ranyevskaya returns with her daughter Anya from Paris to her childhood home, to the beautiful cherry orchard outside the house and to her grief. The estate is paralysed by debt, but she and her billiard-playing brother refuse to save their finances by having the vast orchard cut down to build holiday cottages.

    'Bailegangaire' was first performed by Druid Theatre Company, Galway, in 1985. An endless folk story told by a senile old woman is woven through her granddaughters' arguments and struggles to free themselves from her. Night after night, in lyrical and relentless detail, Mommo begins to relate the story of a laughing competition in Bailegangaire and how the town came by its name - 'the town without laughter'. Of her two granddaughters, she only recognises Dolly, and not Mary who does most to look after her. The younger women yearn to be free of the past in order to make a new beginning, and Mary comes to believe that to do so the story of Bailegangaire has to be concluded.

    'Alice Trilogy' is a haunting triptych of disappointment and gnawing sadness. Three acts, closer to monologues than conversations, show three ages in the life of Alice, an unhappy housewife. 1980, in the afternoon murk of her attic, with whiskey in her coffee, is she losing her grip on reality? 1995, she has summoned a lost love to meet her by the gasworks wall. 2005, at the airport, a tragedy presses to the surface of her internal monologue. Alice is a mesmerising creation, existing only half in her domestic married life, and half in a dream-like world of alter-egos and strange detachment. 'Alice Trilogy' premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in 2005

    A companion piece of sorts to 'On the Outside', 'On the Inside' shows the disappointing reality of the dance that others yearn so desperately to enter. It is the Teacher's Union dance, and only those with wages and prospects can enter. One of those, Kieran, is none too impressed with the average looking prospects that he has to offer, and seeks a way to escape the inevitability of his average looking girlfriend, and the life that they are heading towards. But like the fun of the dance, even the desire to escape fails to take off fully, and in the fug of drunkenness at the end of the night, Kieran restates his commitment to his mundane existence. 'On the Inside' was first staged at the Peacock Theatre, Dublin, in November 1974

    It is the evening of the Teacher's Union dance, and Joe and Frank cannot afford to get in. Frank is on a promise with a young teacher named Anne, whom he has had to avoid meeting beforehand lest she find out he cannot afford to get in. These tradesmen's apprentices are embarrassed by their lack of funds and try every trick they can think of to get in, but spend the whole play outside the doors, seething over the 6 shillings entrance fee, and the chastity their poverty has thrust on them. 'On the Outside' was first performed at the Project Arts Centre, Dublin, in September 1974

    Edward Kilcullen is the disinherited son of a local landowner, whose legacy is reduced to one small cottage, in which live his newly acquired tenants, Anabella and her mother, both almost totally penniless. Edward and Annabella fall in love and marry, but this is not enough to cure Edward of the flaw that he believes may have led to his disinheritance: drunkenness. In fact, the evil spirit that pursues him is not drink but McGinty, the lawyer who served Edward's father. 'The Drunkard' is an adaptation of a 19th century play written by the pseudonymous authors 'W. H. Smith and a gentleman', the latter believed by many to be P. T. Barnum. Murphy's adaptation was premiered at the Town Hall Theatre, Galway, in 2003

    JPW King is a dynamatologist - an English purveyor of a cultish quack psychology-cum-science whose Dublin office is far from thriving; indeed his professional space is also his only domestic arrangement as he eats rough meals and sleeps in the office, occasionally receiving visits from his lover Mona and making phone calls to his 'true' love Helen. When an Irish man arrives to enlist King's services - he wants to be able to sing like the great Italian opera singer Beniamino Gigli - a symbiotic deadlock of character ensues, with each man playing his part, at times believing and then despairing of ever achieving any goal, whether practical or fantastic. An astonishing story of human intention and achievement, 'The Gigli concert' was first performed at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, in 1983

    Summertime, and the emigrant workers, dressed in new suits and dreams, are returning home for the annual sojourn. They are young, vigorous, and have money in their pockets, but they do not belong here anymore - and they do not belong abroad. As a result, they are resentful and dangerous and none more so than the seemingly gregarious Christy Cavanagh. His childhood fixation with Mrs de Burca and her daughters becomes a frightening obsession when he finds that the date has been set for the auctioning of their house; his bid to possess that heaven has tragic consequences. 'The House' premiered at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin in April 2000

    An epic family drama about greed and control, telling the tragic story of the disintegration of a family, along with their estate and way of life. Arina is an ambitious woman. As a servant girl, she marries in to the degenerative family she works for; her ruthless energy saves it from bankruptcy and she expands the family estate into a land empire. Now, as a severe and hardened matriarch, she rules with an iron hand and insatiable avarice, competently managing every inch of her empire - until she begins to question herself. Resigning her power and dividing her lands between her children, she sees the family and the estate crumbling before her eyes

    James, a temporarily retired pimp, is on the run from a shadowy pursuer. His mother has just died and he is cynical to the point of despair about what should become of him. With him is Rosie, his long-time 'girl', who encourages him to think ahead, offering a less pessimistic view of his prospects. In the forests through which they flee, James encounters a pretty, innocent girl of 17 named Anastasia. She has been alone a long time, and like many a fairy-tale woman, is awaiting a dashing saviour to arrive. Drawing on Shakespeare's Forest of Arden for its setting, on Jungian psychology for its imagery, and on European fairytale for much of its shape, language and action, 'The Morning After Optimism' was first performed at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, in March, 1971

    Harry is an out-of-work strongman seeking employment (and shelter) in the sanctuary of a local church. The priest of the church hires him as a clerk, but insists that the arrangement cannot include domestic arrangements. He must leave at night and come back in the morning. And above all, he must maintain the flame in the pendant lamp that embodies Christ's presence in the church. Harry takes him up on half of the offer, working hard then sleeping over, as he hopes to escape from the perceived betrayal at the hands of his ex-partner Francisco. Meanwhile, an innocent young woman named Maudie enters; she too has been using the chapel as a doss-house. When Francisco arrives, the trinity is complete, ready for an entanglement of friendship, rivalry, and perhaps even freedom. 'The Sanctuary Lamp' was first produced by the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, in 1975

    Vera O'Toole is alone, adrift and living dangerously in New York where she survives as a call-girl. But she has a sustaining thought, a dream. She is not alone, she feels, because she has a family in Ireland; she belongs; indeed, some day she may even become worthy of that family. Now, as the story begins, she returns home to Ireland to pay her respects to her dead and beloved grandmother and to discover her dream, her sustaining thought, turning into a nightmare. 'The Wake' was first performed at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, in January 1998
