Lady Gregory tells how she, Yeats and others founded the Irish literary theatre that became the Abbey, and how she came to write plays herself. She recalls Synge, the riots over The Playboy of the Western World in Dublin and on the American tour, and the battle with Dublin Castle over staging Shaw’s Blanco Posnet.
