On Baile's Strand

On Baile's Strand is a play written by W. B. Yeats and first printed in In the Seven Woods published by Dun Emer Press in 1903.

[1] The play was first performed at the grand opening of the Abbey Theatre on 27 December 1904.

[1] The story is based on the early Irish folk story Aided Óenfhir Aífe, but with significant changes to the tale, including the addition of a comic subplot.

Anne Yeats was 19 when she produced the second performance of On Baile's Strand.

[5] Anne Yeats designed many character sketches in a number of notebooks she kept, which are held at the archives of the National Gallery of Ireland; these sketches include designs for Cuchulain, played by Liam Redmond.
