A Dramatic Legend

  • Nótaí

    It was a policy during the early years of the Ulster Literary Theatre not to name actors in programmes. The published script notes that the cast requires "Bearers, Mourning-Women etc", but does not specify how many. The indicated play cast size therefore refers solely to speaking parts.

  • Achoimre

    A tragedy in which Fionnghuala, the King's daughter, is entranced by the half sprite, half mortal Cowherd to her death, to the grief of her father, her distraught admirer Aodh and nurse Eithne.
