This is a fresh reassessment of the work of the principal
playwrights associated with the Irish Dramatic Revival, a movement
that was to radically redefine Irish theatre and see the birth of
the world's first national theatre, the Abbey, in 1904. The work of
O'Casey and Synge has had a profound influence on generations of
writers and remains key to the study of modern drama, whereas work
by Yeats and Lady Gregory has received renewed attention among
theatre makers and scholars owing to their radical innovation and
range.From a consideration of the twin strands of Irish drama prior
to the revival, Anthony Roche considers the work of Synge and his
experimentation in the creation of a new national drama that drew
on native sources while developing a modern and prophetic form of
theatre. He explores the role of Yeats as founder and playwright;
the role of women and in particular Lady Gregory as producer and
dramatist; and the playwrights who emerged following independence.
O'Casey's ground-breaking Dublin plays receive detailed
consideration, and the new Irish modernism that followed in the 30s
and which also witnessed the founding of the Gate Theatre in
Dublin.The Companion also features a number of essays from other
leading scholars and contemporary practioners offering a variety of
critical perspectives on this period of radical change and
development in modern Irish theatre.
