At the Hawk's Well
''At the Hawk's Well'' is a one-act play by William Butler Yeats, first performed in 1916 and published in 1917. It is one of five plays by Yeats which are loosely based on the stories of Cuchulain〔The other Cuchulain plays by Yeats are: ''On Baile's Strand'', ''The Green Helmet'', ''The Only Jealousy of Emer'', and ''The Death of Cuchulain'',〕 the mythological hero of ancient Ulster. It was the first play written in English that utilised many of the features of the Japanese Noh Theatre.
==Dramatic form==
The form of the play is stylised, abstract, symbolic, and ritualistic, unlike the more common realistic
and plot-driven theatre of the time. The stage is, "any bare space before a wall against which stands a patterned screen",〔Yeats, W. B.: "Selected Plays" p. 113. Penguin Books, 1997.〕 and the only props are a black cloth with "a gold pattern suggesting a hawk",〔Yeats, W. B.: "Selected Plays" p. 114. Penguin Books, 1997.〕 and a blue cloth to represent a well. The actors' costumes are simple, striking and stylised, and the two main protagonists wear masks while the others have their faces made up to resemble masks. The puppet-like movement of the actors is accompanied throughout by a drum, gong, and zither.
The play is written in verse and opens and closes with the comments and interpretations of the musicians who speak both individually, and together as a chorus. The main body of the play consists of a short drama involving just three protagonists.
