Beschreibung

A wealthy and aging libertine attempts to satisfy his carnal desires by manipulating those around him, leading to a series of comedic misunderstandings. Fielding satirizes the excesses of the aristocracy and the absurdity of religious hypocrisy with bold, theatrical flair. The play’s fast-paced plot and witty dialogue expose the follies of an older generation obsessed with vice. It is a lively example of 18th-century stage comedy and social ribaldry.

    The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
    But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
    The dreaming hallowed halls of Dublin may be one of the great educational establishments down the Centuries.  But it is also a place where the Nation’s young learn much more.  Within its walls, courtyards and cloisters these 10 Poets mused and illuminated on the beauty of poetry with eager yet tender words.

    Sometimes it is so easy to fall into a routine that you never notice when you are becoming a part of the woodwork. When that change does come, we can either embrace it or discard it. However if we are brave enough to embrace it, we might discover that there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Or in Delancy Smith’s case, she discovered that to every dark cloud, there is a Silver Lining.
