This Critical Companion to the work of one of Ireland's most famous
and controversial playwrights, Sean O'Casey, is the first major
study of the playwright's work to consider his oeuvre and the
archival material that has appeared during the last decade.
Published ahead of the centenary of the 1916 Easter Rising in
Ireland with which O'Casey's most famous plays are associated, it
provides a clear and detailed study of the work in context and
performance. James Moran shows that O'Casey not only remains the
most performed playwright at Ireland's national theatre, but that
the playwright was also one of the most controversial and divisive
literary figures, whose work caused riots and who alienated many of
his supporters. Since the start of the 'Troubles' in the North of
Ireland, his work has been associated with Irish historical
revisionism, and has become the subject of debate about Irish
nationalism and revolutionary history. Moran's admirably clear
study considers the writer's plays, autobiographical writings and
essays, paying special attention to the Dublin trilogy, The Shadow
of a Gunman, Juno and the Paycock, and The Plough and the Stars. It
considers the work produced in exile, during the war and the late
plays. The Companion also features a number of interviews and
essays by other leading scholars and practitioners, including Garry
Hynes, Victor Merriman and Paul Murphy, which provide further
critical perspectives on the work.
