The haunted Kitchen

on Raftery's hill

Melissa Sihra

pp. 149-176

There are no wandering ghosts or mythic spaces of otherness in On Raftery's Hill yet it is the most haunted of all of Marina Carr's plays. The action takes place on top of an isolated hill in the Rafterys' kitchen and is a reminder that even the most familiar of territories can be the most terrifying. In the Raftery family there are two daughters—Dinah, now almost 40, and Sorrel who is 18. Ded, their brother, is in his thirties and lives in the cowshed.
