The play, which is directed by Adrian Noble, has been hailed as Friel's best new work since Dancing in Lughnasa and Translations and stars one of England's finest and best - loved actors Tom Courtenay. "Brian Friel's latest The Home Place, shows time running out for a 19th century Anglo Irish landlord in Donegal. The politics of home rule are creeping upon the landowners, and the consequences are allowed to reverberate in the music of the drama and the humanity of the characters" Michael Coveney, Financial Times Full website coming soon.... |
