The Lepers of Baile Baiste

Set in the local pub of the rural Irish village of Baile Baiste (“the baptized town”), a fracted brotherhood of former Catholic school classmates nightly wrap themselves in a cruel camaraderie to keep the wolves of their collective past at bay, with varied success. The past becomes too much of a burden for one member of the group to bear, just as another classmate returns from a self-imposed exile, determined to cleanse his soul along with the entire brotherhood and the town. A darkly comic and wrenching piece, The Lepers of Baile Baiste lays bare a terrible reality made worse by the best of intentions.
