A powerful and deeply moving masterpiece about love, partings and
reconciliation -- and of the courage involved in living on nobody
else's terms. Dublin, 1907. A young actress begins an affair with a
damaged older man, the leading playwright at the theatre where she
works. Outspoken and flirtatious, Molly Allgood is a Catholic girl
from the slums of Dublin, dreaming of stardom in America. Her
lover, John Synge, is a troubled genius, whose life is hampered by
convention and by the austere and God-fearing mother with whom he
lives. Their affair, sternly opposed by friends and family, is
quarrelsome, affectionate and tender.
Many years later, Molly, now a poverty-stricken old woman, makes
her way through London's bomb-scarred city streets, alone but for a
snowdrift of memories. Her once dazzling has faded but her
unquenchable passion for life has kept her afloat.
