Synopsis
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.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a play that unfolds in a peasant's hut during the 18th century in Ireland. At its heart, the play explores the deep-rooted conflict between preserving cultural heritage and the harsh realities of survival. The central character, an elderly man named Sean, has dedicated himself to the preservation of an ancient book containing the poems of his ancestors. He sees it as a vital connection to his family's past and a source of strength in the face of poverty and oppression. However, his son, Hugh, embodies the harsh realities of their present circumstances. He believes that the book has brought misfortune upon their family and that they should focus on practical matters like securing their harvest. As the tensions rise, the play delves into themes of generational conflict, the struggle between tradition and progress, and the ways in which history shapes our present. The author's insights cut to the core of these themes, revealing the complex relationship between cultural identity, family, and the human spirit. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330788462_0
