Mai O'Hara lies in a Dublin hospital in 1953 attended by a young nursing Sister and visited by the uneasy figures of her husband Jack, daughter Joanie and her dead father. Fuelled by alcohol, passion and despair it is the story of her flamboyant but destructive relationship with Jack, the lost country of her childhood and unfulfilled expectations in the wake of Irish independence and self-rule.
Our Lady of Sligo was produced at the Royal National Theatre in co-production with Out of Joint, directed by Max Stafford-Clark, in April 1998.

Our Lady of Sligo,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Our Lady Of Sligo (Modern Plays) (Paperback)
This play is certainly not on par with "The Steward of Christendom," but it has some fine writing nonetheless. Sebastian Barry's works always deserve careful consideration, though they can sometimes be difficult. For me, "Our Lady of Sligo" falls into that group.
