In a wind-battered Mayo cottage, playwright Jack Ferris tries to salvage something from his broken love affair with Catherine Adams. Drink and despair drove her away; can his imagination call her back? But as he summons up her past, Jack finds he has also called up Catherine's RUC father and a whole dangerous world of opposed traditions.

Praise for A Goat's Song

For this wonderful celebration and lament creates its own hunger, its own momentum

Independent

The way Mr. Healy has orchestrated things, the story of Catherine and Jack -- and of Ireland -- has two distinct outcomes. Both are beautiful, sad and convincing.
