The Yellow Bittern, and Other Plays (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A powerful collection of plays set in a Munster parish, where memory, song, and weather shape every choice. The Yellow Bittern and Other Plays blends lyric language with sharp social drama to explore tradition, pride, and the pull between craft and duty.

In these stage works, a close-knit community grapples with fever and ruin, reverence and doubt, and the personal cost of talent. Across intimate scenes and communal moments, characters wrestle with what it means to belong, speak, and survive.

- Lyrical dialogue and vivid rural detail that bring Irish life and speech to the fore
- Compelling figures drawn from folklore, memory, and family history
- Thematic threads of artistry vs. practicality, faith, and communal obligation
- Theatrical, character-driven scenes that translate well to read-aloud or performance

Ideal for readers who enjoy lyrical, socially aware drama rooted in Irish life and legend.
