The play focuses on the relationship between Anthony and Rosemary, two
introverted misfits straddling 40. Anthony has spent his entire life on a
cattle farm in rural Ireland, a way of life that—due to his painful
shyness—suits him well. Rosemary lives right next door, and has watched the
years slip away, determined to one day have him. With Anthony’s father
threatening to disinherit him and a land feud simmering between the two
families, Rosemary has every reason to fear romantic catastrophe. But then, in
this very Irish story with a surprising depth of poetic passion, these
yearning, eccentric souls fight their way towards solid ground and some kind of
happiness. Their journey is heart wrenching, amusing, </span><span style="font-size:17px">and ultimately</span><span style="font-size:13pt"> moving - a
compassionate and delightful work about how it’s never too late to take a
chance on love. </span></font></p>
