Summary
[ edit ]
The play is set in the summer of 1878 in the fictional village of Ballybeg , County Donegal , at the house ("The Lodge") of Christopher Gore, who lives with his son David, and their longtime housekeeper Margaret.[4]
Dr Gore's methods and racist hypotheses ignite animosity in the town, where a despised English landlord, Lord Lifford, was recently murdered. Christopher is caught in the middle between his cousin and his allegiance to the locals. The play runs the course of a single day in Ballybeg and centers on the resurgence of the Home rule movement in Ireland. The Lifford killing is based on the actual murder of William Clements, 3rd Earl of Leitrim in April 1878.
