The action takes place before and after the Battle of Kinsale, at which the alliance was defeated: with O'Neill at home in Dungannon, as a fugitive in the mountains, and finally exiled in Rome. In his handling of this momentous episode Brian Friel has avoided the conventions of 'historical drama' to produce a play about history, the continuing process.
In this hilarious sequel to Punctuation Takes a Vacation, the grammar focus is on nouns and verbs, and once again uproarious fun abounds.

In order to form sentences, they'll have to mingle, which results in another playful, instructional and humorous adventure!
