Love and loss are intertwined in a story about human connection and cultural identity during a time of strife and turmoil. As the curtain rises, audiences are transported to Baile Beag, a fictional village in 1833 Northern Ireland. The play revolves around the village and the two British soldiers who have come to relabel the map of Ireland as a territory of the British Empire. A heart-wrenching love story between one of the soldiers and a local woman ensues as the soldiers are introduced to Irish culture and people who fiercely protect their identity and history.
