Haunting
and tender, this deeply touching holiday musical was hailed as one
of the 2002 theatre season's finest productions. Filled with Irish
folk melodies and dancing, the Chicago Tribune called the
production "a powerful accomplishment... lovely and deeply
felt."
Friends and family gather to eat and drink in this heartwarming
tale set on a snowy evening in Dublin at the turn of the 20th century.
During the festivities, a familiar song reignites a long-buried
passion in one of the party's guests, and the memories of unfulfilled
possibilities spark haunting epiphanies. John Reeger, Paula Scrofano
and Deanna Dunagan reprise their critically acclaimed roles.
