God and Kate Murphy is a poignant adaptation by Kieran Tunney, based on an earlier work by John Synge. The story revolves around Kate Murphy, portrayed by the talented Sybil Thorndike, who runs a small farm in Ireland. Her eldest son, forced to remain on the farm as a laborer, succumbs to alcoholism, while fortunes shift for Kate, allowing her to send her youngest son to train as a priest against his wishes.

This compelling drama was first broadcast on February 1, 1965, at 20:30 on BBC Home Service, and later featured in the Saturday-Night Theatre on November 19, 1966. The production was skillfully directed by Richard Imison and includes performances by Carrie Donovan, Shelagh O’Connor, Rory Murphy, Sean Murphy, Patrick Mollay, and Norah.
