Talbot’s Box by Thomas Kilroy.
This play focuses on the life of the workers’ saint, Matt Talbot, and examines the idea of sanctity in a modern world. The very incorporation of penance and spiritual search, his conversion from alcoholism to prayer, fasting and self-mortification is sketched in the textured resonances of the idiom of the Dublin streets and in the soaring lyrical versions of his final visions.
