    My details of it are very hazy but I studied it in secondary school years ago, it was set in Ireland and it was centered around the relationship of a father and son.

    The son held resentment because he wanted to connect with his father but the father found it difficult to express any feelings as he was brought up the old fashioned way of suppressing emotions and being the 'strong silent type'.

    Was it the play Philadelphia Here I Come?
    On the curriculum in mid 90s?
