Leanaí Séanta

Published by LeabhairCOMHAR, 2023.

This collection comprises of plays about aspects of women’s lives in Ireland over the last 60 years – Slán, a long play and two shorter plays Rogha Róisín and Cathú. In each of these plays, we encounter women who don’t give up despite the challenges they are faced with. Although real events inspired de Fréine to put pen to paper, she wove believable stories out of these events and created unforgettable characters in order to give life to the stories.The characters in each of the plays in this remarkable collection live in an undeniably recognisable world.

Drámaí faoi ghnéithe de shaol na mban in Éirinn le trí scór bliain anuas atá sa dornán seo ina gcuimsítear Slán, dráma fada agus dhá ghearrdhráma Rogha Róisín agus Cathú. Castar mná orainn sna drámaí seo atá ag streachailt leo ainneoin na ndúshlán a leagtar os a gcomhair amach. Cé gur fhíor-imeachtaí a ghríosaigh de Fréine chun pinn, d’fhigh sí scéalta inchreidte astu agus chruthaigh carachtair dhodhearmadta leis na scéalta sin a bheochan. Tá na carachtair sin lonnaithe i ndomhan doshéanta inaitheanta i ngach uile dhráma sa dornán suntasach seo.


Trí dhráma atá sa leabhar seo agus is í Mairéad Ní Ghráda a bheadh buíoch go bhfuil bean fós againn a bhaineann leas as an dráma leis an gcois a bhuailtear ar an éagóir ar mhná agus leanaí na tíre a ardú.
