Winner of L.A. Drama Critics Circle Best Play Award, this is the touching story of a fisherman living on a remote Irish island who has fallen in love with a woman he's glimpsed only once. Unschooled in letter writing, he tries his utmost to court by mail and after a year and a half succeeds in arranging a rendezvous at which, to his surprise, she persuades him to live with her in Liverpool. Their love affair ends when he is forced to return to a life he understands.

"A masterpiece." -Tribune, Worcester, Mass.

"There's abundant humor, surprisingly honest humor, that grows between two ... people who love each other but whose lives simply cannot be fused.... It could easily last forever in actors' classrooms and audition studios."- The New Yorker

"Funny, touching, bittersweet." - The Associated Press

"Deserves the fame it has achieved in regional theaters around the country." - Albany Times Union
