But what begins as just an unusual encounter becomes a struggle between the living and dead—a struggle that will shape and define both men for the rest of their lives.</p><p>Also included here is the one-act, <i>Come on Over</i>, about a Jesuit priest sent to investigate a “miracle†in his hometown, where he re-encounters the woman who loved him 30 years before.</p><p><b>Conor McPherson</b> was born in Dublin, Ireland, where he still lives. His plays include <i>This Lime Tree Bower</i>, <i>St. Nicholas</i>, <i>The Weir</i>, <i>Port Authority</i> and <i>Dublin Carol</i>.</p></DIV>
