Only one copy listed in WorldCat. Joseph Campbell (1879-1944), who wrote under his Gaelic name Seosamh Mac Cathmhaoil, was a poet, playwright, folklorist and political activist. Judgment is founded on a story told me by a man who knew Peg Straw, and who was present at her wake. The only points in which the play differs from his story are that I have omitted a miracle which, the storyteller informed me, happened on the second night of the wake (it was noticed that although the candles lighted about the corpse had been burning for forty-eight hours they were not perceptibly shortened), and I have added the loom and the birth interest as symbols of Destiny and of the wonder and persistent newness of human life. All events, says Marcus Aurelius, turn out justly. If you look closely, you will not only see a connection between causes and effects, but a sovereign distribution of justice, which broods in the administration, and gives everything its due. "Judgment" was first produced at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, on Monday, 15th April under the direction of Lennox Robinson.
