Breithiúnas

by Máiréad Ní Ghráda

An polaiteoir Marcas de Grás, a shaol agus a chamshaothar, ábhar an dráma seo. Is i ndiaidh a bháis a chuirtear a scéal i láthair ach ní hionann sin is a rá nach nglacann sé féin lánpháirt ann. Baintear leas as iardhearcadh agus cuntais reatha a chlainne agus a chomhghleacaithe chun é a chur os ár gcomhair ina steillbheatha.

Tá Breithiúnas ar cheann de mhórdhrámaí na Gaeilge i gcónaí agus tá an aoir a dhéantar ann ar shaol polaitiúil na tíre chomh tráthúil inniu is a bhí an chéad uair a léiríodh é sa bhliain 1698.
A new edition of the major Irish dramas based on the life and work of politician of Marcas de Gras.

99 pages, Paperback

First published January 1, 1978

Ní raibh dráma ar bith léite agam le fada i dteanga ar bith, mar sin de eispéireas aisteach a bhí ann, ag léamh agus ag éirí a shamhlú cad é mar a bheadh sé seo ar an stáitse. Thiocfadh leis an dráma bheith níos faide, b´fhéidir, ach seachas sin níl caill air.
