Cover of Mr Tom Murphy: The Mommo Plays (PDF)

Brigit
I”d like it to be perfect . . . Beautiful . . . The statue . . . Unbeatable? . . . I”d like it to be what I feel . . . And I don”t know what that is.
Set in the 1950s,
Brigit, a prequel to Murphy”s critically-acclaimed
Bailegangaire (1985), tells the story of Mommo and Séamus, grandparents living on the breadline, who are raising three grandchildren: Mary, Dolly and Tom, when Séamus is offered a job to carve a statue of St Brigit.
Brigit premiered in September 2014, in a production by Druid Theatre Company, Galway, Ireland.

Bailegangaire
”One of the finest and most inventive pieces of Irish dramatic writing ever – the power of its language soaring beyond the loftiest aspirations of Synge and its insights on the human spirit cutting deeper than O”Casey”s”
– Sunday Independent
A Thief of a Christmas
”Grand opera . . . both timeless and contemporary” – Fintan O”Toole
