The Bribe: A Play In Three Acts (1914) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781166921958)

""The Bribe: A Play In Three Acts"" is a drama written by Seumas O'Kelly and first published in 1914. The play is set in a small Irish town and centers around the corrupt actions of the local politicians and businessmen. The story follows the character of Tom Hannigan, a young man who becomes embroiled in a bribery scheme orchestrated by the town's wealthiest citizens. As the plot unfolds, the audience is presented with a commentary on the corrupt nature of power and the lengths people will go to maintain it. O'Kelly's play is a scathing critique of Irish politics and society at the turn of the 20th century, and its themes of corruption and greed remain relevant to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
