A very good example of this Yeats play, accompanied by the rare four-page pamphlet Alterations in 'Deirdre', handed out during Mrs Patrick Campbell's production of the play in November 1908. Presumably only a small number of these were printed. Mrs Patrick Campbell was a highly sought-after actress in London in the 1890s; following her performance in this play Yeats was so impressed that he sold her the American and English rights for five years.
