Synopsis:
"Thomas Magill (a hirsute Cillian Murphy) is a well-meaning evangelist who has an obsession with sin. Sifting through his memory, he repeatedly relives his searches for the heavenly peace that he might expect to come "dropping slow" in his town of Innisfree. Frustrated by all around him, and on the day of the town's 'community dance', Thomas decides to set off on a proselytizing tour of his neighbours. From the ban an tí to the garage mechanic and even to Roger the dog, "sin is our religion" and yet all could be saved if Thomas works hard enough. Lonely, mocked and often thwarted in his mission, Thomas' zeal is re-charged when the angelic Edel offers to accompany him in his good works..." by Matthew Harrison with Irish Theatre Magazine
