W B Yeats's one-act play that blends elements of folklore, fantasy, and symbolism. Published in 1894, the play revolves around the character Maire, a young bride, who escapes the confines of her conventional married life to seek a more enchanting existence in the mystical realm of the Sidhe. The Sidhe are supernatural beings in Irish mythology, and the play explores themes of love, desire, and the tension between the mundane and the magical. Through poetic language and evocative imagery, Yeats crafts a narrative that delves into the complexities of human longing and the allure of a utopian, otherworldly existence.
