Inhaltsangabe:

Taking us back to a forgotten world that is nonetheless brimming with familiar passions and human foibles, Lay Me Down Softly is another slice of vintage Billy Roche. Set in rural Ireland of the early ’60s, Roche’s new play takes us into the burlesque world of Delaney’s Traveling Roadshow.
