by James Joyce
Dramatised by Jeremy Paul

Dublin 1912, and young Eveline's life is hard looking after her strict father. But it is eased somewhat with the arrival of Frank, a former sailor on a short holiday from Buenos Aires. He offers her a chance to escape, but the prospect of telling her father terrifies her.
