| Description |
"Shadow and Sustance " is a thoughtful and very human play which stems from the Abbey Theatre where it was first performed in 1934. It is a deeply felt story about religion and education in one of the hill towns in Countty Louth, Ireland. The action centres in the living-room of Canon Skerrett's parochial house, and is concerned chiefly with the complicated pattern of the struggle between the formal religion of the proud continental, stern, but lonely, Canon, the anger of a young schoolmaster against the benumbering control of education by the clergy, the ignorance and violence of the people |
