Rasher Moorigan has a secret that only his mother knows. Tonight - for the first time in over thirty years - mother and son spend May Eve together in a wreck of a house down the backlanes of Dublin. Melding reality and myth, CRACKSKULL ROW is the story of an Irish family's desperate actions and forbidden loves, "exploring rage, dissolution, sexual perversity and family history with a bleak and penetrating acuity." (New York Times)
