Description
When this play was first shown, barely a ticket could be found after less than a week on sale. Ó Neachtain’s realist style portrays here Christmas Eve in the old peoples’ home. And everyone there has their own story. Taimín Chualáin, waiting for a letter from his son in Australia, that isn’t coming; Coilmín an Bhreathnaigh, who never did an ounce of good in his life and drank all he had; Sally, who is living life to the full, even if it’s only in her own head; and Meaig Loideáin, put there against her own will. And it’s no different for those taking care of them: Máirín, the matron, who never married, for one particular reason; and Jackie, a young girl starting out in life. A drama full of humour and woe, power and passion throughout.
Oíche Nollag in áras na seandaoine. A scéal féin ag chuile dhuine atá ann: Taimín Chualáin, ag fanacht ar litir óna mhac san Astráil, nach bhfuil ag teacht; Coilmín an Bhreathnaigh, nach ndearna buille maitheasa ariamh ina shaol agus a d’ól gach a raibh aige; Sally, a bhfuil saol na bhfuíoll aici, cé gur ina cloigeannsa amháin atá sé; agus Meaig Loideáin, curtha isteach san ionad in ainneoin a tola. Agus ní taise don dream atá ag tabhairt aire dóibh é: Máirín, an matrún, nár phós ariamh, ar chúis áirithe; agus Jackie, cailín óg atá ag tosaí amach sa saol ach a bhfuil bambairne déanta ag an saol di. Faoi dheireadh thiar, tá dráma eile againn ó pheann dhrámaóir mór ár linne, a bhfuil an greann agus an ghruaim, an chumhacht agus an paisean ina orlaí thríd.
