Celia de Fréine is a poet, playwright and screenwriter who writes in Irish and English. Four of her plays have been awarded Duais an Oireachtais for best full-length play: Anraith Neantóige; Cóirín na dTonn; Tearmann; and Meanmarc. The first three of these plays were published in a collection, entitled Mná Dána, by Arlen House in 2009. In 2012 Arlen House published a further three of Celia's plays, Desire : Meanmarc, Cúirt an Mheán Oíche : The Midnight Court, and Plight: Cruachás. In 2013 Beholden was given a rehearsed reading at the National Gallery of Ireland and the Pavilion Theatre, Dún Laoghaire, and in 2012 Present was given a rehearsed reading at the Pavilion Theatre – both as part of Pavilion Playwrights 8 X 10. In 2009 the Abbey Theatre commissioned her short play Casadh. In 2004 Anraith Neantóige was produced by Aisling Ghéar. Another play Nára Turas é in Aistear was produced in 2000 by Amharclann de hÍde. In 2007 the Dublin Shakespeare Society produced a revised version of Celia's 1982 translation and dramatisation of Brian Merriman's The Midnight Court as part of their centenary celebrations. She now divides her time between Dublin and Connemara.
