This is a contemporary play set in the West of Ireland.
It is the story of two brothers who havn't spoken to each other for more than 40 years,
the story of a failed marriage for one and of his wife who left for the U.S.A. and gave
birth to her son in New York and never as long as she lived returned to Ireland but her
son did and lived and worked there on the the farm for 10 years. The other brother likes
to spend his days fishing and is cared for by a local woman who is a busy-body
but has his best interests at heart and does the housekeeping for him.
Thy Will Be Done is billed as a drama but is actually a comedy with many funny
situations and Carey has given it many witty lines. You will relate to this play if you've
spent much time in Ireland and you'll certainly recall some characters just like the
ones in the play and leave the theatre remembering the Ireland you once knew.
