Scober MacAdam is king of the castle, a once glorious Big House in County Leitrim with an extensive farm. He has a young wife, Tressa, but their marriage is childless and frustrated. When rumours threaten Scober’s pride, he concocts a plan that jeopardises all he has worked for.
Steeped in a world of patriarchy and religion, King of the Castle is an unflinching, often uncomfortable look at our recent past.
