This deeply lyrical folk play, set on an Atlantic headland at the mercy of wind and rain, tells the tale of Trassie Conlee’s fight to protect both herself and her brother Neelus from the menace of her ruthless cousin Dinzee Conlee, one of Keane’s most extraordinary theatrical creations. And then there is Trassie’s growing love for the thatcher, Peadar Minogue…
