The best play I have read recently... Maureen, whose other two sisters have married, lives in the town of Leenane, Ireland, with her mother, Mag, in the house on the hill. The love and hate conflict between mother and daughter becomes more evident when Maureen falls in love. Mag's fears of losing his daughter and her daughter's lover are putting the situation in a deadlock. The inner world of people is examined through feelings such as lack of love, violence and disappointments. The play is essentially a story of hope.
