Many Young Men of Twenty

Many Young Men of Twenty, a musical play, deals with emigration and the lack of jobs at home that forced people to leave their native Ireland for England. It describes the emigrants longing for home - Everyone is lonesome leaving home - their annual homecomings and their return to jobs and places they disliked - back to their night shifts, an filthy digs ... with their long faces leanin out o the carriage windows with the thoughts of whats waitin over.
