The Bribe: A Play In Three Acts is a dramatic work written by Seumas O'Kelly and originally published in 1914. The play is set in rural Ireland and follows the story of a wealthy landowner named John Corcoran, who is faced with a difficult decision when he is offered a bribe to sell his land to a wealthy American businessman. Corcoran is torn between his desire for money and his loyalty to his community, and the play explores the moral and ethical dilemmas that arise from his decision. Along the way, the audience is introduced to a colorful cast of characters, including Corcoran's wife, his daughter, and various members of the local community. The Bribe is a powerful exploration of greed, corruption, and the struggle to do what is right in the face of temptation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
