Reviews for Riders to the Sea (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)
21 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/54 stars for the full cast LibriVox recording (the last play in a collection of one act plays found here).I read this extremely short one act play (contained in the book "Five Great Modern Irish Plays") while listening to the LibriVox recording. The Irish voices of the cast helped bring the play to life for me. The play itself is very sad, about a woman who loses her last remaining son to an accidental drowning just the day after another son's body has been identified.… This play stands up well to reading (as opposed to seeing a performance).
