Billy Roche
Set in a Belfry (of sorts).
Belfry, alongside 'Poor Beast in the Rain' and 'A Handful of Stars' (both listed separately), is part of a trilogy of plays known as 'The Wexford Trilogy'.
Artie is the sacristan in the local church. Caring for his elderly mother, he spends most of his time with Father Pat and Dominic the young alter-server - that is until Angela starts to help with the church flowers. The two begin a soaring affair, but when somebody tells Angela's husband, Archie is left to face life without her.
