		Ballybeg is between Doneraile and Buttevant, but nearer to Buttevant.
		The usual divide in those cases was, two-thirds for the rector and one-third for the vicar.
		And so the priors of Ballybeg were the rectors or parish priests of Cahirduggan and Doneraile for three centuries in the late medieval period.

		The village of Ballybeg (Gaelic for "small town") is Friel's creation, and is the fictional location of many of his plays.
		Michael is the illegitimate son of Christina (Chris) Mundy, one of the six Mundy siblings whose lives are the focus of the action.
		As an illegitimate child living in the intensely religious, small-town environment of Ballybeg, Michael is the object of both love and shame in the household, a joy as well as a stigma, someone who is simultaneously part of and apart from the family.

		Friel has set up a wonderful theatrical device in the piece: While the people of Ballybeg are indeed speaking English on the stage, they are, in the world of the play, actually speaking Irish to each other.
		Jimmy's eerie proclamation alerts Hugh to the dark side of remaining isolated from a culture and a language (English) that is becoming, for better or for worse, a part of Irish life.
		Hugh's next statement will be echoed 12 years later, as thousands of Irish make the decision to leave their homeland in the Great Famine (1845-1849) to risk their lives on the treacherous Atlantic voyage to the New World: "We must learn where we live.

	Waterford News & Star - 2002/09/13: Garda Sub-station Earmarked For Ballybeg At Long Last!
		A NEW garda sub-station is set to be provided in the Ballybeg area of the city once agreement is reached between the City Council and the gardai on a suitable site.
		For close on ten years, members of the City Council have been pushing for the sub-station to serve the growing neighbourhoods of the Ballybeg, Larchville and Lisduggan and now at last there appears to be a commitment that gardai will be allocated to the new station when it is provided.
		It is also felt that there must be an economic base to sustain the services and that base is estimated to be a neighbourhood of approximately 2,000 houses.

	Aristocrats - Brian Friel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Once the center of privilege and influence, the former home of a Supreme Court Judge and now the residence of ailing District Justice O’Donnell and two of his daughters, Ballybeg Hall is a crumbling, culturally and socially dislocated monument to a past with no more meaning to the present generation than a dusty academic tome.
		Casimir, like all of his siblings, has been ‘touched’ by the experience of living in Ballybeg Hall, and is seemingly oblivious of his persistent disconnection from the world around him.
		A key moment occurs late in the play when Huffnung, who has been listening with rapt attention to Casimir’s anecdotes about the literary luminaries who have stayed in the Hall over the years, points out that his reminiscence of meeting W.B. Yeats cannot possibly be true given the poet died two months before Casimir’s birth.

	Philadelphia, Here I Come! - Brian Friel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		They are Ireland, once embodied by James Joyce's Mother Peg, long dead in Brian Friel's country; except perhaps for a vagrant memory in Madge, maternal aunt and house keeper (Paddy Croft), she with the sharp tongue and repertory of one-liners that comment scornfully on the men, the action, and mainly the lack thereof.
		Sex and a viable female principle have been excised from the rural paradise of Ballybeg, where is left a slight imprint of woman.
		The offer is chilling since their society obviously replicates that of Ballybeg, sentimental, intellectually limited, spiritually stifling, closed off from a larger, vital world..

	Aristocrats
		Fairyland is an appropriate image for Brian Friel’s fictional setting, Ballybeg Hall, and the even more fictional lives that its inhabitants claim to lead.
		The audience vantage point is focused through American academic Tom Hoffnung, researching the upper-middle-class strata of Catholic Irish families after the Civil Rights movement, examining their ‘political, economic and cultural influences on the prevailing and ruled classes’ (so we are told in unwieldy intellectual jargon).
		Eamon confidentially suggests Casimir’s homosexuality; Claire confesses her reluctance to wed; in his senility, Father lets slip that Judith ‘betrayed the family’ by giving birth illegitimately; no one confronts Alice about her alcoholism or the scar on her cheek; and absent missionary Anna has been kept ignorant over the degenerate condition of her father.

	Dancing at Lughnasa (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Despite the fine filigree of Friel's language (adapted for the screen by playwright Frank McGuinness), the sisters are quickly revealed as barely adorned types, from the heavy-handed, matriarchal Kate (Meryl Streep) to Christina (Catherine McCormack), the impetuous romantic, still in love with the man who left her with an illegitimate son to raise.
		The reason the change in point of view is so significant is that without the magical conceit that we're watching a character's memory animate itself, the Mundy sisters seem simply too much like storybook characters; even in their depression they still seem like jack-in-the-boxes just waiting to spring.
		Given Friel's idealized view of old-time country living, it's no surprise that the plot involves Ballybeg's slow transition into the modern world, but it's hard to feel nervous about the extinction of a past that never existed outside of popular mythology.

		He captures them in a poetic language in which comic and bitter precision go hand in hand, and in which what is and what might have been become partners in a vertiginous dance.
		Katie, the lost beloved, is also seen briefly, and Gar's ludicrous aunt, her henpecked husband and a phlegmatic American friend appear in a hilarious flashback on a visit to the O'Donnells, proving that life in Philadelphia may be easier but no better than in Ballybeg.
		The father-son estrangement is wonderfully caught: Gar nurtures a fantasy about a shared moment with his distant father (which may or may not have taken place), while his hidebound father conjures up a vision of a young Gar in a sailor's suit.
