Money From America

Play by Irish playwright Tom O'Brien, directed by John Dunne.

"Money from America centres round the return of Jack Carey to his Irish home farm from America. Having subsidised his brother Lardy over the years with money from America, Jack has returned to stake his rightful claim on the farm as elder brother. However, Lardy proves less than willing to give way to change, having lived a solitary life of poitin-making with only Molly the pig farmer for company.

When Jack's fiancée Phyllis arrives from Dublin to set things right tempers flare and secrets are spilled. Jack is subsequently found murdered after a heavy drinking session with Lardy, and the police are determined to prove that Lardy is the culprit. It turns out to be not as simple as that, however."
