Alone, at the end of his line of Protestant land-owners, George Foley stands in his Big House. In Corn Exchange's restrained production, Andrew Bennet addresses the air in his beautifully modulated voice. In a fastidious, self-conscious tone, like a narrator from an early Banville novel, Foley recalls his dead parents and the Catholic wife who left him, reconstructing a vanished past. His soliloquy is tinged with weary irony, heavy humour, repressed anger and self-disgust.

He talks about free will but the only way he can exercise it is through this self-validating narrative; his attempts at escape are thwarted. Michael West's absorbing script tends towards wordy over-writing, but Andrew Bennet's performance, subtly directed by Annie Ryan, is simply superb.

Runs until Saturday, 7.30 p.m.
