This book is the broad application of queer theories to the
original plays of the contemporary Irish dramatist Frank
McGuinness, the only author in Ireland to consistently utilize gay
and lesbian themes in his writing. McGuinness continually
represents sexual difference in his character development in a way
that previous Irish authors have not. In particular McGuinness
portrays homosexual protagonists in his dramas, allowing the queer
the narrative prerogative, not merely a secondary role in the
formation of theatrical perspective. Often it is the homosexual who
tells the story or alters the plot through his or her alternative
perspective. This book not only analyzes the queer in McGuinness's
work, but also contributes to a widening of the conversation and
criticism on Irish theatre in general. Its implementation of the
internationally recognized paradigm of analysis, queer theory, is
cutting-edge in its contribution to the general field of Irish
studies as well. As a result of its two-fold agenda of theatrical
and cultural analysis, this book not only brings together theories
of the queer and the theatre of McGuinness, but it also maps the
way in which this queer dramaturgy intersects with contemporary
Irish society as it faces a new era of cultural re-invention.
