Diarmuid and Grania is a 1901 play in poetic prose by George Moore and W. B. Yeats, based on the translation of the tale by Lady Gregory, with incidental music by Edward Elgar. Tóruigheact Dhiarmada agus Ghráinne was translated by Nessa Ní Shéaghda in 1967 and used in schools for study in Irish literature.
The part of Diarmuid was played by Benson, Grania by his wife Constance, and Laban by Lucy Franklein. Although the collaboration had been difficult – Yeats and Moore disagreed frequently, mainly about style, and there was therefore no final version for publication – the production was well received.

Oisín is a minor character in The Pursuit of Diarmuid and Gráinne from the Fenian cycle of stories. The poem "Ogum i llia lia uas lecht" in the Book of Leinster is ascribed to Oisín. Oisín, along with St. Patrick, is the main character of William Butler Yeats's epic poem The Wanderings of Oisin.
Each story has its feet firmly planted in the real world, but serves as an epicenter for swirling fantasies. In one story, "The Lizzie Borden Jazz Babies," Sparks makes use of a tragic plot point that sets off many classic fairy tales – the untimely death of a protagonist's parent – and applies it to the father instead of the mother.
In The Pursuit of Diarmuid and Gráinne, Gráinne was promised in marriage to Fionn but, repulsed by his age, she forms a relationship with Diarmuid at their betrothal party. At first he refuses out of loyalty to Fionn but she places a geis upon him to run away with her. Their long flight from Fionn is aided by Diarmuid's foster-father Aengus Óg.
