Fermoy Fitzgerald, a politician from the Irish midlands, is a man capable of anything. He has the dreams of a conqueror. In Ariel, Marina Carr attends to events surrounding his daughter's sixteenth birthday and dissects the soul of a man in thrall to powerful forces. While the play embraces age-old themes - power and its price, fate, the importance of remembering and of forgetting — it is also the author's most contemporary work.
