A year has passed since the closing of Finbar's Hotel, a
down-on-its-heels hotel on the Dublin quays. Now, with a rock star
as its new owner, it has once more opened its doors-and Finbar's
has become an ultra-chic gathering spot. Ladies' Night at Finbar's
Hotel describes one night in its newly illustrious surroundings-a
night filled with adventure and comic romp. In one room a man
surreptitiously helps his wife's friend get pregnant, while next
door a businesswoman battles her father. And down the hall, a nun
struggles with the most important mission of her life. A fabulous
mix of pathos and high humor, this is a sardonic tour of the gamut
of human experience told by Ireland's finest modern storytellers.
