In this darkly comic Irish tale, Maureen is good and stuck in the house she grew up in, caring for her aging mother, Mag. Mag is a nightmare and their mutual antagonism hits a new level when Maureen’s first, and possibly final, chance at love suddenly appears. Who’s most vulnerable? Who’s scheming the most? Who’s crazy? Is anyone? The laughably dysfunctional relationship of these two isolated souls in rural Ireland comes to a boiling point when the possibility of romance, or even survival, sets in motion a train of tragically funny yet heartbreaking events.

MAG FOLAN
A woman of poor health in her early seventies; a widow living on the rural family homestead—sitting in a rocking chair, staring into space. She is not good hearted.
MAUREEN FOLAN
MAG’s daughter, a plain woman of about forty; has a turbulent relationship with her mother, who she takes care of.
PATO DOOLEY
40s
A good-looking local man; an acquaintance of MAUREEN’s (they have similar backgrounds). Relatively reserved.
RAY DOOLEY
20s
PATO’s brother. Easily annoyed. Not too smart.
