By looking at her subject as a performance rather than a literary phenomenon, Trotter captures how Irish theatre has actively reflected and shaped debates about Irish culture and identity among audiences, artists, and critics for over a century. This text provides the reader with discussion and analysis of: Significant playwrights and companies, from Lady Gregory to Brendan Behan to Marina Carr, and from the Abbey Theatre to the Lyric Theatre to Field Day;Major historical events, including the war for Independence, the Troubles, and the social effects of the Celtic Tiger economy;Critical Methodologies: how postcolonial, diaspora, performance, gender, and cultural theories, among others, shed light on Irish theatre’s political and artistic significance, and how it has addressed specific national concerns. Because of its comprehensiveness and originality, Modern Irish Theatre will be of great interest to students and general readers interested in theatre studies, cultural studies, Irish studies, and political performance.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Width: 19mmItem Weight: 381gAuthor: Mary TrotterGenre: Literary CriticismBook Series: Cultural History of LiteratureRelease Year: 2008 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
