Seamus Heaney once described the 'sense of place' generated by the
early Abbey theatre as the 'imaginative protein' of later Irish
writing. Drawing on theorists of space such as Henri Lefebvre and
Yi-Fu Tuan, Mapping Irish Theatre argues that theatre is 'a machine
for making place from space'. Concentrating on Irish theatre, the
book investigates how this Irish 'sense of place' was both produced
by, and produced, the remarkable work of the Irish Revival, before
considering what happens when this spatial formation begins to
fade. Exploring more recent site-specific and place-specific
theatre alongside canonical works of Irish theatre by playwrights
including J. M. Synge, Samuel Beckett and Brian Friel, the study
proposes an original theory of theatrical space and theatrical
identification, whose application extends beyond Irish theatre, and
will be useful for all theatre scholars.
