Turncoats: A Play in One Ace

Lynn Doyle (or Lynn C. Doyle, actually a comic play on "Linseed Oil") was the pseudonym of Alexander Montgomery (1871-1961), an Irish-born author and playwright. He was part of the Ulster Literary Theatre movement. He wrote more than twenty books, many of them (including "Turncoats") set in a fictious northern village called Ballygullion. They are of a humorous nature and are said to reflect, with reasonable accuracy, life in East Ulster at that time.
