This book examines the relationship between moments of significant
social change on the island of Ireland and performance practice
during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. It examines how
moments of significant change influence not only the content of
performance practice but also the form and function of theatre
production and reception. This book investigates how the Troubles
and subsequent Peace Process, Second-Wave Feminism, the Celtic
Tiger and neoliberalism, social revolution, and the COVID-19
pandemic impacts the form and function of performance practice
across the island of Ireland. Although these forms of theatre and
performance making refer to varied and distinct lineages of
practice internationally, there are key parallels that compel a
study of their inter-relationality in a specific Irish context.
This book explores how the performance of Ireland illuminates
histories and stories that are on the margins, illuminating the
lived realities of everyday life through the presentation of
moments of violence, oppression, and trauma as something that is as
important as the larger narratives often ascribed to nationhood.
This book asks how performance practice engages with and informs
moments of major social change on the island of Ireland through the
distinct yet intersecting lenses of place, performance form, and
social context over the course of almost a century of Irish theatre
and performance practice.
