May 1822, rural Ireland ...

The defrocked Reverend Berkeley arrives at the crumbling former glory of Mount Prospect House to accompany seventeen year-old Hannah to England

She is to be married off to a Marquis in order to resolve the debts of her mother�s estate

However, compelled by the strange voices that haunt his beautiful young charge and a fascination with the psychic current that pervades the house, Berkeley proposes a s�ance, the consequences of which are catastrophic

Set around a haunted house hemmed in by a restive, starving populace, Conor McPherson�s new play weaves Ireland�s troubled colonial history into a transfixing story about the search for love, the transcendental and the circularity of time

A beautifully lyrical study of the existence of supernatural forces and the frailty of the human heart

"The finest dramatist of his generation" ~ Daily Telegraph
