After 15 years in America, the “Yank” comes back home with an expensive camera in his pocket and an American wife on his arm. But has he fulfilled the emigrant dream of has he returned to prevent his younger brother form making the same mistakes? The play is set in a farm village in Western County Mayo, 1961, when the age was innocent, the time was simple, and maidens danced at the crossroads. This comic drama reflects on the social problems of emigration and rural life in the late 1950's and will bring a lump to the throat and a tear to the eye.
