Too Late for Logic

Christopher, a philosophy professor preparing a lecture on the work of Schopenhauer, is engaged by his son and daughter, Jack and Petra, to help rescue his brother Michael. Michael's wife, Cornelia, has died, leaving Michael in a pit of drunken despair, threatening suicide in a local pub. Christopher, who wishes to remain in his ivory tower of philosophical reflections, reluctantly joins his grown children on their ultimately successful mission. 'Too Late for Logic' premiered at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, in October 1989.
