While most accounts of Irish theatre begin with the Abbey theatre,
Chris Morash's comprehensive study goes back three centuries
earlier to Ireland's first theatre. Written in an accessible style,
yet drawing extensively on unpublished sources, it traces an often
forgotten history leading up to the Irish Literary Revival, and
then follows that history to the present. The main chapters are
each followed by shorter chapters, focusing on a single night at
the theatre. Morash creates a remarkably clear picture of the
cultural contexts which produced the playwrights who have been
responsible for making Irish theatre's world-wide historical and
contemporary reputation. Morash also deals with aspects of Irish
theatre often ignored, including audiences, performance styles,
architecture, management and other aspects of Irish theatrical
culture. This book is an essential, entertaining and highly
original guide to the history and performance of Irish theatre.
