PURGATORY by W.B. Yeats Part One

W.B. Yeats said about his brooding poetic drama Purgatory, first produced at the Abbey in 1938, 'I have a one-act play in my head, a scene of tragic intensity... I am so afraid of that dream'. In Purgatory, with its harrowing story of an old man killing his son to end a cycle of violence and violation, Yeats suffuses his exploration of historical tradition and cultural identity with searing force and power.PLEASE NOTE this file has been split into 3 parts. (total time 23 Mins) PART ONE, PART TWO, PART THREE.ENJOY

Thanks very much for your reply, Dean. I enjoyed watching the production and have used parts of it to good effect when discussing the play with students.
