Pentecost
AUTHOR
Stewart Parker
Synopsis
Four people are gathered together in a Belfast working-class parlour-house where, against the background of the Ulster Workers' Strike, they work out their relationships to each other, to the world outside, to the past. Only Marian is aware of a fifth presence - the ghost of Lily Matthews, the previous occupant.
