Book by James Lundy & Kevin Bowen. Music by Kevin Bowen & Martha Davis. Lyrics by Kevin Bowen.
Kilkieran Valley is hungry—but so is Father Padraig Bones. Returning from Galway to his small boyhood farm in Ireland, Padraig reunites with his brother William, but then skirmishes with conniving British soldiers, rebellious Irish farmers, and a fickle crop. Why did his father commit the crime that shattered his family forever?
A play that addresses the question of what happens to a society that uses food as a political weapon.
