((shadow and Substance" is a thoughtful and very humanplay which stems from the Abbey Theatre where it was first performed in1934. It is a deeply felt story about religion and education in one of thehill towns in County Louth, Ireland. The action centres in the living-roomof Caron Skerrettts parochial house, and is concerned chiefly with thecomplicated pattern of the struggle between the formal religion of theproud continental, stern, but lonely, Canon, the anger of a young school-master against the benumbing control of education by the clergy, theignorance and violence of the people of the parish, and the spiritual upliftand beautiful simplicity of the Canonts servant, Brigid, who believes in theIove of man, and mystically in the love of the saints.S C E N E SAct I.
