“McDonagh’s…comic talent appears unlimited, and he also has a way…of mixing up his humor with a touch of the poet and a profound sense of tragedy always dangerously lurking on comedy’s untidy fringe. In short, young McDonagh is a playwright to reckon with…” –The New York Post
“…McDonagh’s storytelling style…has the clarity and power of fable. Each character enters not only with his own idiosyncrasy but with his own distinct idiom. McDonagh skillfully juggles rhythms and repetitions so as to illuminate the sadness, defensiveness and longing for connection underneath the characters’ badinage.” –The New Yorker
* Billy – sixteen/seventeen. An orphan and cripple; his parents drowned whilst escaping to America. Billy lives with his two aunts Kate and Eileen. Billy likes to sit and watch cows. He dreams of making a new life for himself in America.
* Bartley – sixteen/seventeen. Helen’s brother. A little naïve, and very dependent on his sister, despite the regular spouts of physical abuse she directs at him. Bartley likes candy, especially the type from America, and wants a telescope.
