| Summary | 'Deirdre of the Sorrows' is based on an ancient Irish myth, a story of a beautiful young woman, Deirdre, and her equally handsome lover Naisi, one of three brothers sworn to protect each other - and the young lovers - from Deirdre's betrothed, the ageing king Conchubhor. Almost finished upon Synge's premature death, and published posthumously after revisions by Synge's fiancée, the actress Mary 'Molly' Algood, and poet and theatre-manager W. B. Yeats, 'Deirdre of the Sorrows' is a vivid reimagining of the Deirdre myth, complete with Synge's distinctive lyric style. |
