Tony winner O鈥橞yrne (Frozen, Doubt) and Emmy winner Messing (鈥淲ill & Grace,鈥� "Smash," Collected Stories), press notes state, "play Anthony and Rosemary, two introverted misfits straddling 40. Anthony has spent his entire life on a cattle farm in rural Ireland, a state of affairs that鈥攄ue to his painful shyness鈥攕uits him well. Rosemary lives right next door, determined to have him, watching the years slip away. With Anthony鈥檚 father threatening to disinherit him and a land feud simmering between their families, Rosemary has every reason to fear romantic catastrophe. But then, in this very Irish story with a surprising depth of poetic passion, these yearning, eccentric souls fight their way towards solid ground and some kind of happiness. Their journey is heartbreaking, funny as hell, and ultimately deeply moving."
