Irish Theatre - Interrogating Intersecting Inequalities

This book on modern and contemporary Irish Theatre traces how social, cultural and economic capital are circulated in order to demonstrate complex and often contradictory outlooks on equality/inequality. Individual chapters analyse property ownership and inheritance, wealth acquisition, employment conditions, educational access, intercultural encounters, sexual intimacy and violation, and acts of resistance, protest and solidarity. This book addresses complex intergenerational, intercultural, racial, sectarian, ethnic, gender and inter- and intra-class dynamics, from the perspective of ranked, objectifying, exploitative and coercive relationships, but also in terms of commonalities, complicities, reciprocations and retaliations. Notable are the significances of wealth precarity and shaming, the consequences of anti-materialistic dramaturgical leanings, the pathologising of success, the fraught nature of solidarity, and the problematics of merit, divisive partitioning and muddled mésalliances. Ultimately the book wonders about how Irish Theatre distinguishes between tolerable and intolerable inequalities that are culturally, socially but principally economically derived.
