Item details

To a lawyer's office in a small Irish town, come various witnesses to help in establishing which of the twin daughters of the late Anthony Sullivan, was the first born. According to his will, his elder daughter, Norah, inherits the house and the lands of Killyboreen. The mother insists that Kitty with the strawberry birthmark, was the first born and the rightful heiress. Instead of clearing up the mystery, the various witnesses create the most incredible confusion and the poor lawyer is at his wits' end. Finally matters are settled with the arrival of the midwife who produces a letter and photo which prove beyond doubt, that Norah was the first born and the rightful heiress. Rich Irish characterisation and abounding in laughter.
