Brian Friel’s first masterpiece, Philadelphia, Here I Come!, examined the plight of the emigrant. In The Loves of Cass McGuire he reverses his theme: for more than fifty years Cass McGuire has worked a block from Skid Row, among deadbeats and washouts — people who live in the past.
This bawdy, vital, compassionate play deals with her return to Ireland and her genteel family’s rejection of her. It follows her lonely struggle to rediscover the home she’s dreamt of all her life and her eventual surrender to the makebelieve of Eden House.
