Plays & Poetry

How to write a play and get it produced - a manual for playwrights.

This play imagines the time in Brian Merriman's life immediately before he wrote his famous poem The Midnight Court. De Freine introduces readers to characters from his local neighbourhood and explores the ways in which these people and their deeds inspired him to write.

This collection includes three plays by Celia de Freine: Anraith Neantoige, Coirin na dTonn, and Tearmann.
