This book presents new insights into the production and reception
of Irish drama, its internationalisation and political influences,
within a pivotal period of Irish cultural and social change. From
the 1950s onwards, Irish theatre engaged audiences within new
theatrical forms at venues from the Pike Theatre, the Project Arts
Centre, and the Gate Theatre, as well as at Ireland's national
theatre, the Abbey. Drawing on newly released and digitised
archival records, this book argues for an inclusive historiography
reflective of the formative impacts upon modern Irish theatre as
recorded within marginalised performance histories. This study
examines these works' experimental dramaturgical impacts in terms
of production, reception, and archival legacies. The book, framed
by the device of 'archival memory', serves as a means for scholars
and theatre-makers to inter-contextualise existing historiography
and to challenge canon formation. It also presents a new social
history of Irish theatre told from the fringes of history and
reanimated through archival memory.
