Ireland's greatest love story! Passion, politics, poetry, magic, intrigue,
betrayal, deceit, heroism,and revolutionary Ireland bind these two extraordinary
characters together yet tear them from each other. For Yeats, Maud is the
very embodiment of heroic Ireland, his muse, his nemesis, his unrequiting
lover but ultimately his staunchest friend, even when her extremist politics
and his ruthless pragmatism drive them apart. Though his physical love is
not enough to contain her passion, she recognises his genius and never falters
in her support for his art, even when they oppose each other fiercely in
the controversies that rage in the Abbey Theatre, in the land agitation,
in the birth pangs of the Free State and in its turbulent afterbirth. "Maria
Straw as Maud Gonne is fantastic, the rabble-rouser, the ultimate strong
woman...the acting is superb' Rattlebag RTE
