Emma Donoghue's Selected Plays brings together five powerful and thought-provoking works from one of Ireland's most acclaimed authors. This collection includes Kissing the Witch, Trespasses, Ladies and Gentlemen, and I Know My Own Heart.

The plays showcase Donoghue's unique blend of magic realism, drama, and social commentary. Kissing the Witch reimagines classic fairy tales in a gritty, fantastical world, while Trespasses explores the complexities of faith, superstition, and politics during a pivotal moment in Irish history. Ladies and Gentlemen delves into the lives of performers on the vaudeville stage, highlighting the tensions between identity and performance.

Through her plays, Donoghue subverts conventions and challenges readers to think critically about the world around them. With its diverse range of themes and styles, this collection is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in contemporary drama and social commentary.
