Surprisingly easy to read as a - Play. I nearly didn’t, thinking it wouldn’t flow, but it did and I quickly got used to reading directions and narration as one. Lovely story of five unwed Irish sisters living together on a shoestring in Ballybeg. They have all the usual struggles of not having enough money yet kept themselves happy with an unreliable, battery radio and their love of music. ( )

Read for my OU course.

I would be interested to see this performed in the theatre, although all the music/dancing might become a bit tiresome. ( )

I enjoyed it overall, but I think I liked the film better. Felt weird to read the climactic scene of the film in the first half of the play. Father Jack comes out better in this, at least. I appreciated the narrowed focus of scenery and how storytelling played a crucial role in moving along the plot. The narration threw me off, though. ( )

Short and sweet. I enjoyed this one. ( )

Rather melancholy look at the passing of a way of life through a single family. Even Father Jack can be seen as the symbol of the waning of the priests' authority with his heretical beliefs. And perhaps Gerry Evans could be a metaphor of British interest in Ireland -- he comes and flirts and dazzles some of them but in the end, he marries a nice Welsh girl leaving his bastard son in Ireland to make his way on his own.
