The Sea-Woman's Cloak and November Eve

By Amélie Rives

"The Sea-Woman's Cloak and November Eve" is a collection of two hauntingly lyrical plays by Amelie Rives that draw their inspiration from the rich traditions of Irish folklore and legend. In "The Sea-Woman's Cloak", the narrative explores the melancholic myth of the selkie, a creature of the tides who must navigate the complex boundaries between the human world and her elemental home. The play captures the inherent tragedy of a soul divided between the call of the deep and the bonds of domestic life.

The second play, "November Eve", centers on the mystical threshold of Samhain, a time when the veil between the mortal realm and the supernatural world is at its thinnest. Through these works, Rives delves into the themes of destiny, ancient magic, and the enduring influence of the Sidhe on human affairs. Written during a period of renewed interest in Celtic mythology, these plays showcase a mastery of atmosphere and poetic dialogue. This volume remains a significant work for those interested in the intersection of early 20th-century drama and Irish mythological themes, offering a compelling look at the power of folk traditions to shape dramatic storytelling.
