    "description": "<p>Jack Ferris, playwright, drunk, is mired in comtemplative misery in a fisherman's cottage on the windy and bleak west coast of Ireland. Mourning his love affair with Catherine Adams, an actress and Protestant from the north, he summons her instead in his imagination. In doing so, he tells the story of her father Jonathan, failed parson and retired RUC man, shamed into exile by a moment of violende in Derry years ago. Masterly, elegiac, A Goat's Song conjures the contrasting landscapes and opposing myths of a nation divided.</p>",
