Three Plays by Tom Murphy: A Collection of Irish Emigration Stories This collection brings together three plays that tell the story of Irish emigration, exploring what it means to call a place 'home'. Famine, A Whistle in the Dark and Conversations on a Homecoming cover the period from the Great Hunger of the nineteenth century to the 1970s, spanning decades and crossing oceans. The plays are set in different locations, including Ireland and England, and follow the experiences of those who went abroad and those left behind. With an introduction by Dr Patrick Lonergan, this collection marks a major celebration of Tom Murphy's work as one of Ireland's most respected living dramatists. Presented by Druid in a co-production with Quinnipiac University Connecticut, NUI Galway, Lincoln Center Festival and Galway Arts Festival, the collection has toured Ireland, London and the US.
