Steven Suskin from Variety writes “All three plays hinge on Irish emigration, from different viewpoints. Set in the mid-1970s, Conversations on a Homecoming (1985) is a 10-year reunion of pals in a Cork pub, welcoming back a friend from an unsuccessful New York stint as an actor. The play’s sympathies can be found in a hallowed portrait of John F. Kennedy over the bar, which is not so subtly named the White House. A Whistle in the Dark (1961), Murphy’s first and most important play, is about an Irish emigrant living in London whose home is invaded by his brutal and sadistic father and brothers. Thematic centerpiece is Famine (1968), which traces the root problem of national identity to the Irish Potato Famine — and the resulting enforced emigrations — of the 1840s.”
