The Home Place
''The Home Place'' is a play written by Brian Friel that first premiered at the Gate Theatre, Dublin on 1 February 2005. After a sold-out season at the Gate it transferred to London's West End on 25 May 2005, where it won the 2005 Evening Standard Award for Best Play,〔(Evening Standard Award ) Retrieved on 8 October 2009〕 and made its American premiere at the Guthrie Theater (Minneapolis, MN) in September 2007.
==Summary==
The play is set in the summer of 1878 in the mythical village of Ballybeg, County Donegal, at the house ("The Lodge") of Christopher Gore, his son David, and their housekeeper Margaret. Christopher is a widowed land-owner from England ("the home place" of Kent). Both he and his son David are in love with Margaret. Two guests are staying at The Lodge, Dr Richard Gore, Christopher's cousin, and Dr Gore's assistant, Perkins. Dr Gore is an anthropologist and is traveling throughout Ireland recording the physical characteristics of the locals.
Dr Gore's methods and racist hypotheses ignite animosity in the town, where a despised English landlord, Lord Lifford, was recently murdered. Christopher is caught in the middle between his cousin and his allegiance to the locals. The play runs the course of a single day in Ballybeg and centers on the resurgence of the Home rule movement in Ireland. The Lifford killing is based on the actual murder of William Clements, 3rd Earl of Leitrim in April 1878.
