Peg O’ My Heart

“A hovel may be a palace,” says Father Cahill—until Frank O’Connell answers with the hunger and hardship behind Ireland’s poverty.

In J. Hartley Manners’s 1912 play, the opening’s fierce Irish debate gives way to an English country mansion, where outspoken Irish-American heiress Peg arrives among relatives who prize good manners and social standing. The Chichester family needs her to learn their rules: their inheritance depends on it. But Peg, with her scruffy terrier at her side, has little patience for being polished into someone else. As family expectations tighten around her, can she keep her independence—and find a place among people who seem determined to change her?
