"Two Plays for Dancers" by W. B. Yeats is a compilation of two plays that fuse dance, music, and poetic drama. The stories explore complex themes of love, memory, and the supernatural. In "The Dreaming of the Bones," a fugitive encounters ghostly figures and grapples with guilt and historical love, using dance and drama to illuminate the interplay between life and the spirit world. "The Only Jealousy of Emer" presents a tale of jealousy and consequences of love, where a hero's relationships with two women reveal the challenges of loyalty and desire.
Two plays for dancers
By W. B. (William Butler) Yeats
Spirits, love, and the weight of the past intertwine in the stories that push the boundaries of theater through dance and verse.
