The Half Promised Land was Maeve Binchy’s first full-length stage play adapted from a story in her collection My First Book, from 1970.
Influenced by time she spent in Isreal, Binchy’s play revolves around two Irish schoolteachers’ experience on a working holiday spent in a rural community on a kibbutz in Israel in 1966.
Binchy explores their actions and emotions as they are confronted with issues of tolerance, belonging and forgiveness, abortion, mental illnesses, and racism.
Performed by graduating students of the BA Drama (Performance) at DIT Conservatory of Music and Drama.
