The work centers on Ballybeg Hall, the decaying home of District Justice O'Donnell. The family comes to congregate for a wedding, only to end up staying for a funeral. Irish Rep previously presented the work in 2009.

Florian Staab, and properties by Nicole Rozanski. Pamela Brusoski is production stage manager, and Rebecca C. Monroe is stage manager.
