  Four One-Act Plays by WB Yeats

  Set against the backdrop of Ireland’s struggle for freedom, "Cathleen Ní Houlihan" unfolds with quiet intensity as a young man’s ordinary life is gradually overtaken by a strange and irresistible call to something greater. In the presence of a beguiling visitor whose words seem to shimmer with myth and longing, dreams of marriage and home give way to visions of sacrifice and national pride. W.B. Yeats weaves a lyrical, otherworldly tale that blurs the line between reality and enchantment, capturing the powerful sway of idealism, identity, and the mysterious forces that drive people to give everything for a cause--the cause for Ireland's freedom. 
  Brimming with charm and mischief, "The Pot of Broth" is a delightful one-act comedy co-written with Lady Gregory in which a clever wanderer, armed with nothing but an empty pot and a silver tongue, convinces a wary country couple that he can brew a magical broth from a simple stone. As tall tales bubble up alongside the imaginary soup, the ordinary kitchen becomes a stage for trickery, laughter, and the quiet magic of believing in just a little more than what’s in front of you. Come into the Irish countryside, where even the poorest pot can cook up a most entertaining story. 
  W.B Yeats' "Purgatory" is a grim representation of generational guilt and spiritual entrapment, as a father confronts the ghosts of his family’s past in the ruins of a once-noble home, where memory and violence echo years afterwards. 
  Meanwhile, in "The Cat and the Moon," two beggars—one blind, one lame—make their way to a holy well where Saint Colman resides in the hopes of curing their respective ailments. But when given the opportunity of being healed or being blessed, both beggars are forced to reassess their convictions. Will they use their newfound gifts for justice, or will they accept placement in the hereafter?

  Girls From the County

  This book is merely a record of dark events, the kind that you can sometimes move on from, yet can’t help but see in every old house, high school, or crumbling bridge. 
  In the county, eerie stillness can be mistaken for stagnation. In the county, rumination on pain and guilt can be confused with omens and curses. In the county, feelings of claustrophobia stem from understanding what the encroaching darkness brings with it. 
  You’ve heard of country girls, and city girls, but what of the forgotten girls from the in-between space of the county? Confronting the things too wild for urban areas, and too methodically malevolent for the countryside, girls from the county are often dismissed by popular narratives, left to solve riddles of grief and rage for themselves. 
  Known for weaving folk horror with confessional poetry, unflinching true crime approaches with myth and fable, contemporary appetites with gothic literature, award-winning author Donna Lynch has composed a lyrical reconstruction for readers to navigate the lives—and deaths—of girls from the county.
