Murphy Plays: 5 brings together four of the author's recent works: The Wake, Too Late for Logic, The House, and Alice Trilogy.

The Wake recounts the story of a woman returning from the United States to her home town in Ireland.

Hailed by The Times, Too Late for Logic has been called "A major new play . . . these scenes are beautifully imagined, ache with feeling, and flower into incidents of piercing sadness or absurd laughter."

Described by The Irish Times, The House is "The most compelling indictment of emigration ever committed to the stage."

Alice Trilogy dramatizes three stages in Alice's life: 1980, 1995, and 2005.
