With a young daughter in serious need of attention and a ravenous creature possibly prowling the upstairs bedrooms, what begins as an average Thanksgiving for one privileged family unravels into an expose of disastrous choices and less-than-altruistic motives. The Pain and the Itch is a scathing satire of the politics of class and race, a controversial, painfully human examination of denial and its consequences. "There are heady, farcical peaks to this comedy that approach the manic genius of Preston Sturges. But Mr. Norris' real target is that great sentimental sham, the idealized American family." --NY Observer.

This extraordinary play is the story of five unmarried sisters eking out their lives in a small village in Ireland, told through the memory of the illegitimate son of one of the sisters. He is only seven in 1936, the year his elderly uncle returns after serving for 25 years as a missionary in a Ugandan leper colony, the year the sisters acquire their first radio, and the year he meets his father for the first time. From these events spring the cracks that destroy the foundation of the family. Widely regarded as Brian Friel's masterpiece, this haunting play is his tribute to the spirit and power of the past.
