A landmark event in Irish publishing, with the groundbreaking eighteenth-century poem by Brian Merriman inspiring a new trilogy of plays, Lorg Merriman.
The 1st play, 'Desire : Meanmarc' imagines Merriman's life and times prior to writing his poem
The 2nd play, 'The Midnight Court', is a new translation and re-interpretation in drama
The 3rd play, 'Plight : Cruachas', imagines the setting up of a Midnight Court in modern-day Ireland

That's a stunning cover. Is it one of Bewick's from the South Seas?

DeleteJust saw your post now on returning from the US fellowship and tour. Great guess - it is actually Poppy Melia, Pauline Bewick's eldest daughter, who lived with Pauline in the South Seas. The 3 plays in the Lorg Merriman sequence all have covers by Poppy and they are truly stunning. I'll give you a set when I see you next.
