A play set in this country follows three characters who never interact as they recount memories of the surgeon Mr. Rice’s attempt to cure a blind woman. A fictional place whose name translates to “Little Town” is the setting of fourteen plays by a playwright called “[this country]’s Chekhov,” including Here I Am!, Translations, and a play titled for “Dancing at” a festival. The one-act play The Cooing of Doves was adapted into the second act of a play from this country home to Brian Friel in which Jack’s surprise promotion to commandant causes a fight between the (*) Clitheroes. A character is arrested and shot after hiding a bag of grenades in the first play of a trilogy set in this country’s capital that includes Shadow of a Gunman and The Plough and the Stars. The author of that trilogy wrote about the Boyle family in Juno and the Paycock. For 10 points, name this home country of Sean O’Casey. ■END■
