This book offers new close readings of contemporary Irish drama in
the context of postcolonial Biblical studies. Developing
Christopher Morash's historiographical metaphor of Babel, it
combines appropriations of this and other selected Biblical themes
of building found in plays by such authors as Malachy McKenna
(Tillsonburg), Dermot Bolger (Ballymun Trilogy), Stacey Gregg
(Shibboleth), Richard Dormer (Drum Belly) or Sebastian Barry (Tales
of Ballycumber). The monograph explores the stances contributed by
key scholars specialising in Irish drama and theatre (Christopher
Morash, Shaun Richards, Helen Heusner Lojek), draws on the most
recent findings within postcolonial Biblical criticism and touches
upon the assumptions of subcreation studies (Mark J. P. Wolf).
