BEING VOLUME THREE OF PLAYS FOR AN IRISH THEATRE:
Reading edition
BY W. B. YEATS
LONDON: A. H. BULLEN, 47, GREAT RUSSELL STREET, W.C. 1904
CHISWICK PRESS: CHARLES WHITTINGHAM AND CO. TOOKS COURT, CHANCERY LANE, LONDON.
NOTE
Both these plays have been written for Mr. Fay’s “Irish National Theatre.” “The King’s Threshold” was played in October, 1903, and “On Baile’s Strand” will be played in February or March, 1904. Both are founded on Old Irish Prose Romances, but I have borrowed some ideas for the arrangement of my subject in “The King’s Threshold” from “Sancan the Bard,” a play published by Mr. Edwin Ellis some ten years ago.
