Outside Mullingar | 
pickI saw the film version, but if left me wanting to read the play that it inspired it. There‘s something that was lost on the big screen & I found it in the quiet conversations between the 4 characters. Steeped in loneliness & love of the land, the strange story somehow works. I particularly enjoyed reading the author's essay about his own trip to Ireland that inspired the show. It's Irish to its core & hit the notes of grief I'm feeling right now.
