Dublin, 1950s. Leaving his country home behind, Daniel Ryan is seduced by the bright lights of the big city, by the wild parties of a bohemian theatre group, and by a young man called Anthony. Until one fateful, scandalous night brings the curtain down on Daniel's life in Dublin. Years later, and Daniel has returned from his exile in New York. Trying to blend into the shadows, he finds modern Ireland barely recognisable from the heady days of his youth. As he struggles to reconcile the events that caused his departure, he is pursued by a shady young man - and by the ghosts of his past. Set against the backdrop of a production of Fernando Garcia Lorca's "Blood Wedding", Denis Kehoe's debut is a sepia-toned tribute to love and loss. A passionate story of love, jealousy and desire.
