"The Golden Apple" This play is based on the myth of the Trojan War, specifically focusing on the story of the golden apple and its role in igniting conflict among the gods. Lady Gregory reinterprets this ancient myth to explore themes of jealousy, rivalry, and fate, while also reflecting on the power of love and beauty to drive both conflict and resolution. The play is filled with vivid characters from classical mythology and evokes the timeless quality of the Greek myths."The Cross of the Boyne" Drawing on the historical event of the Battle of the Boyne (1690), this play presents a blend of history and myth, focusing on the Irish experience of conflict and its complex relationship with colonialism and national identity.
