The play was first produced at the
Abbey Theatre, Dublin in February 1947.

The play takes place in the living room of the Murnaghan family in the Midlands. We meet Matty Murnaghan, his wife Bessie and daughters Sally and Norah also sons Jack, Derry and Peter. The family are having financial trouble with local credit all but cut off when a newspaper runs a story of a local emigrant who leaves a fortune in America and local rumor has it that the Murnaghan family may be heirs to that fortune. This rumor changes everything for the family and leads us thru their new-found life style. The "shenanagins" and the conniving that go on will keep you entertained throughout the performance. The play is well written with many funny lines and situations.
