Borradh Buan: Leannáin...Buaiteoirí – Le Brian Friel á léiriú

27th October 2011

Dráma a rachaidh go dtí an croí ionat… Heart-wrenching and haunting theatrical experience presented by Splódar.
Ceann de mhórshaothair Brian Friel. Friel’s masterpiece is surely the Romeo and Juliet of Irish literature as the illstarred lovers find societal and family pressure too much for them. Mag agus Joe a bhfuil an bás i ndán dóibh. Ach tá níos mó den ghreann agus den scléip sa saothar seo ná mar atá i ndráma Shakespeare. Strangely, this tale of tragedy with hilarious humorous sequences awakens feelings of optimism rather than despair and draws us deftly into the charged and changing world of the young lovers.
