William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) was one of the great poets of the twentieth century. He created works that are universally known and loved, and that have exerted a profound influence on world literature.
Yeats' versions of Sophocles' Oedipus Rex and Oedipus at Colonus, are among his finest dramatic works and have rarely been performed in Ireland. Previous occasions were in 1973, and before that in 1927-28, when they were performed at Dublin's Abbey Theatre for the very first time.
Regarded as two of Yeats' most challenging dramatic works, these versions of Sophocles' plays relate the great story from Ancient Greek Mythology of Oedipus, King of Thebes, who unknowingly kills his father, marries his mother and begets four children by her. The story is about how the Gods and his own actions bring about his downfall. In Yeats' versions, the focus is on Oedipus's relentless and doomed search for the truth, on his catastrophic reaction to the knowledge of his incest and on his humanity.
While Yeats' versions of Oedipus Rex and Oedipus at Colonus both incorporate splendid choral sequences, they are mainly written in a superbly spare prose which makes them readily accessible to a wide audience.
Over the past four years, the Dublin Lyric Players have presented in the Library nine plays by WB Yeats, including The Cuchulain Cycle of plays, The Words Upon the Window Pane, The King's Threshold, The Hour Glass, Purgatory and The Dreaming of the Bones. The National Library of Ireland holds the largest collection of Yeats manuscripts in the world, and in addition, holds other fascinating Yeats material generously donated by the poet's family over several years.
Material from this collection is now on display in the National Library's major exhibition Yeats: the life and works of William Butler Yeats. Covering many aspects of the poet's life and his development as a writer, this exhibition also gives visitors insight into Irish social, cultural and political life from the late 1800s to the 1930s.
Opening hours: Monday - Wednesday 9:30am to 8:45pm Thursday & Friday 9:30am to 4:45pm Saturday 9:30am to 12:45pm

The Square One Theatre Group will present Maíreád ní Ghráda's play 'On Trial' in the Mermaid Arts Centre, Bray, from Tuesday 4 to Saturday 8 November 2008.
Originally written in Irish 'An Triail' explores an Ireland that is past. A society deeply influenced by Church and laden with moral duties. The author translated the play into English and this interpretation uses the origins of theatre, the world of the masked Greek chorus, to represent the ordinary people of the time. A play full of voices and haunting, authorative figures, faceless and unforgiving mobs and in their midst, the 'outsider'.
Tickets from the Mermaid Box Office on 01-272 4030 Priced �16

Event Title: Shadowlands - Dublin Shakespeare
Where: 36 Parnell Square West, Dublin
Tuesday, 11 November 2008
Time: 20:00
|
|
From Tuesday 11 November to Saturday 15 November, Dublin Shakespeare will present 'Shadowlands' by William Nicholson. at 8pm in T@36 (the 'Teachers Club') in number 36 Parnell Square West, Dublin. .
Shadowlands is based on a true story of the British Author and Philosopher C. S. Lewis and poet Joy Davidman. Set in the male enclave of academic Oxford in the 1950s, their relationship starts as an exchange of literary correspondence and continues when Joy shows up in Oxford. Her intellectual assertiveness delights and refreshes Lewis, but appalls his condescending fellow academics who are further shocked when Lewis goes through a marriage of convenience with her for immigration purposes.
From tentative, timid beginnings their friendship develops into a deep abiding love which becomes brutally highlighted by Joy�s terminal illness and finally Lewis is forced to recognise the spiritual value of suffering, reconciling his hurt at losing Joy with his fervent belief in the beneficence of God.
The play is directed by Joe Jordan. Admission �15 (�12 concession). To book tickets telephone 085-843 2881.

'The Great Hunger' by Tom McIntyre is a hilarious, brutal and tragic work - a wonderful piece of physical theatre, featuring a truly ensemble large cast and directed by award winning director Geoffrey O'Keeffe.
The play is adapted from the Patrick Kavanagh poem of the same name and it charts the life and dreams of Patrick Maguire, a small farmer, suffering from sexual and spiritual starvation. McIntyre takes us back to a forgotten world and looks at themes of lust, love, loss and pain. the play fuses together a visual and verbal score that uses the actor's body as a highly charged instrument and promises a total theatrical experience. In a review of an earlier production, Fintan O'Toole wrote, "Tom McIntyre's version of Kavanagh's The Great Hunger heralds a theatre that can express what words can only suggest"
Admission �15 (�12 concession)

'The Great Hunger' by Tom McIntyre is a hilarious, brutal and tragic work - a wonderful piece of physical theatre, featuring a truly ensemble large cast and directed by award winning director Geoffrey O'Keeffe.
The play is adapted from the Patrick Kavanagh poem of the same name and it charts the life and dreams of Patrick Maguire, a small farmer, suffering from sexual and spiritual starvation. McIntyre takes us back to a forgotten world and looks at themes of lust, love, loss and pain. the play fuses together a visual and verbal score that uses the actor's body as a highly charged instrument and promises a total theatrical experience. In a review of an earlier production, Fintan O'Toole wrote, "Tom McIntyre's version of Kavanagh's The Great Hunger heralds a theatre that can express what words can only suggest"
