Máire Ní Shíothcháin

-

Máire Ní Shíocháin was an active member of the Cluicheoirí, one of dramatic groups of Conradh na Gaeilge (The Gaelic League). With Piaras Béaslaí and Muiris Ó Catháin and others she felt that theatre was an art form in its own right and that Irish language drama would not flourish as an marginal activity of the League's. Her translation of "Birthright" by T C Murray, called "Oidhreacht", was produced in the Irish Theatre in Hardwicke St in 1916.
