...sheer bed-living room farce, A Severed Head is manipulated cleverly and performed with skill. Heather Chasen as Antonia cat-licks laughs off her lines, and Paul Eddington as the pietistic psychoanalyst arcs his body in gestures of helpfulness, as if he were physically proffering mental health.

The hotels are scattered but substantial, and some are notable, such as Ballynahinch Castle, where the fishing is famous. And the food is delicious: trout and salmon, lobsters and crayfish, clams, mussels and-come September-the famous Galway oysters. Not to mention the small Connemara sheep, which range the hills where wild herbs give their meat a rare, delicate taste...
