The Playboy of the Western World And Other Plays
“The last cottage at the head of a long glen in County Wicklow.
Cottage kitchen; turf fire on the right; a bed near it against the wall with a body lying on it covered with a sheet. A door is at the other end of the room, with a low table near it, and stools, or wooden chairs. There are a couple of glasses on the table, and a bottle of whisky, as if for a wake, with two cups, a teapot, and a home-made cake. There is another small door near the bed. NORA BURKE is moving about the room, settling a... few things, and lighting candles on the table, looking now and then at the bed with an uneasy look. Some one knocks softly at the door. She takes up a stocking with money from the table and puts it in her pocket. Then she opens the door.
TRAMP (outside). Good evening to you, lady of the house.
NORA. Good evening, kindly stranger, it’s a wild night, God help you, to be out in the rain falling.
TRAMP. It is, surely, and I walking to Brittas from the Aughrim fair.
NORA. Is it walking on your feet, stranger?MoreLess
