Deirdre of the Sorrows is a play written by Irish playwright John M. Synge. The play is based on the ancient Irish myth of Deirdre, a beautiful and tragic heroine who is born with a prophecy that she will bring sorrow and destruction to those around her. The play follows Deirdre's life from her birth to her tragic end, as she is forced to choose between her love for the warrior Naoise and her duty to the king. The play is known for its poetic language and its exploration of themes such as love, fate, and the power of prophecy. It is considered one of Synge's masterpieces and a classic of Irish literature.I'll give you a riddle, Deirdre: Why isn't my father as ugly and old as Conchubor? You've no answer? . . . . It's because Naisi killed him.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
