  • We were delighted that the Abbey Theatre visited our archival collection to explore Lady Gregory’s prose, poetry, and books on Irish mythology. Although #Grania was written in 1912, the story of Gráinne and Diarmuid Ua Duibhne had been with Lady Gregory for nearly two decades prior. Take a look at their vlog to uncover the beginnings of #Grania which is now running 🏹.
