It is 1936 and harvest time in County Donegal. In a house just
outside the village of Ballybeg live the five Mundy sisters, barely
making ends meet, their ages ranging from twenty-six up to forty.
The two male members of the household are brother Jack, a
missionary priest, repatriated from Africa by his superiors after
twenty-five years, and the seven-year-old child of the youngest
sister. In depicting two days in the life of this menage, Brian
Friel evokes not simply the interior landscape of a group of human
beings trapped in their domestic situation, but the wider
landscape, interior and exterior, Christian and pagan, of which
they are nonetheless a part.
