Setting
Setting: Home of the Mundy family outside Ballybeg, Co. Donegal.
Period: Act 1:  A warm day in early August 1936. Act 2: Three weeks later.

 

Synopsis
It is 1936 and harvest time in Donegal.  In a house just outside Ballybeg live the Mundy sisters, barely making ends meet.  The two male members of the household are brother Jack a
missionary priest, repatriated from Africa after twenty five years and the seven year old son of the youngest sister.  In depicting two days in the life of this ménage, 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.
