"Deirdre of the Sorrows" by J. M. Synge is a three-act play written in 1909. Based on Irish mythology, it tells the tragic story of Deirdre, a beautiful young woman raised to become the bride of an aging king. When she falls in love with the warrior Naoise instead, their forbidden romance sets ancient prophecies in motion. Left unfinished at Synge's death, the play explores themes of love, fate, and the choice
between safety and passion in this haunting Celtic legend. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
