Brian Friel’s ‘Living Quarters’ returns to the Dublin stage before embarking on a national tour. The play is set in a small town in Donegal in the late 1970s and brings together the members of the Butler family from the four corners of the world. Commandant Frank Butler returns from the Far East as a hero, but it is not only his family that are gathered to celebrate his return – all manner of mayhem arises as press and dignitaries descend on the small town to join in the celebrations. Not surprisingly, many secrets and lies are revealed as events unfold with extraordinary and tragic consequences.
