Billy Roche
Poor Beast in the Rain, alongside 'A Handful of Stars' and 'Belfry' (both listed separately), is part of a trilogy of plays known as 'The Wexford Trilogy'.
Eileen works in her father's betting shop. Molly, Steven and Joe manage to keep their regrets about the past safely locked away and young Georgie is ready to turn his back on the outside world and follow their example, until the return of the legendary Danger Doyle. Having turned his back on the cycle of missed opportunities and thwarted desires to run away to London with Eileen's mother, Danger Doyle now offers Eileen the possibility of escape.
