The year is 1878. The widowed Christopher Gore, his son David and their
housekeeper Margaret, the woman with whom they are both in love, live at
The Lodge in Ballybeg. But in this era of unrest at the dawn of Home
Rule, their seemingly serene life is threatened by the arrival of
Christopher's English cousin, who unwittingly ignites deep animosity
among the villagers of Ballybeg. The Home Place premiered at the Gate
Theatre, Dublin, in February 2005.
