“A neglected landmark of modern theatre that explores the byzantine complexities of marriage with the honesty of genius.”—Guardian
Back in Dublin after nine years abroad, Richard and Bertha have to ask themselves questions about guilt and responsibility as they confront two other people who love them. Will infidelity hold them together? Based in part on James Joyce’s own relationship with Nora Barnacle.

James Joyce (1882-1941) is the author of "Dubliners," "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man," "Ulysses," "Finnegans Wake" and many poems. He met Nora in Dublin in 1904 and the two of them lived in Pula and then Trieste until 1915, when the War forced them to move to Zurich, where Joyce died. Conor McPherson was born in Dublin, where he still lives. His plays include This Lime Tree Bower, St. Nicholas, The Weir, Port Authority and Dublin Carol. He has written three films, I Went Down, Saltwater and The Actors, and directed the last two.
