Albert Nobbs

Synopsis:
Albert Nobbs is set in a large Dublin hotel called Morrison's Hotel. Albert Nobbs is the perfect waiter. He never drinks and never flirts with the maids, but he has a secret. Albert is a "she"--a woman who has dressed as a man to avoid poverty and harassment. Now she is trapped in her guise as the part of a man. One night at Morrison's Hotel she has to share her bed with another "man," Hubert Page. To her chagrin, she discovers that Hubert is a woman! Hubert is married to a woman and leads a harmonious life. Albert is indeed inspired by this turn of events and falls in love with a chambermaid, Helen Dawes, only to meet a tragic end.

Amelia

Synopsis:
about the famed aviatrix, Amelia Earhart, whose disappearance over the Pacific during a round-the-world flight seventy-two years ago is one of our endearing mysteries. McNamara's grim speculation: Earhart's historic flight was a cover for a U.S. spy mission against the Japanese, and the Empire brought her down and imprisoned her.

Informer, The

Synopsis:
This engrossing play is a classic presentation of friendship and betrayal set against the backdrop of 1920s Dublin in the aftermath of the Irish Civil War. Gypo Nolan, an ex-policeman and member of the Revolutionary Organization, turns his comrade-in-arms, Frankie McPhillpi, in to the police for a murder committed during a farm laborers' strike. His act of conscience makes him a traitor to his revolutionary comrades, as Dan Gallagher, a commandant of the Revolutionary Organization, swears he will find and kill "the informer."
