Rural Ireland just before the First World War. Bat and Maura Morrissey have two fine sons. Hugh is idealistic and accomplished: an altar boy, poet, captain of the hurling team, and pride of his mother. Shane is a born farmer: diligent, obedient, and hardworking. Much to Bat's frustration, tradition dictates that Hugh is set to take over the farm, whilst Shane will be forced to emigrate to America. Over the course of one day, family ambition collides with Hugh's birthright, and the close-knit family is torn apart forever... Inspired by the biblical story of Esau and Jacob, Birthright is a forgotten masterpiece of Irish theatre.T0536752821Presented byEcclesia (in association with Neil McPherson for the Finborough Theatre).
