drama today as well as the brilliance of Irish playwrights, both
seasoned veterans and those beginning to build reputations on the
stages of the world's premier national theater, The Abbey.
The first play by award-winning playwright Michael Harding, Sour
Grapes, explores the taboos of seminary life including pedophilia
and homosexuality. Thomas Kilroy's The Secret Fall of Constance
Wilde tells the historical drama of the marriage of Constance to
Oscar Wilde and recounts the tragedy that was her marriage and
life. Interlocking lives of a varied group of eight morally adrift
young Dublin women and men, Alex Johnston's dramatic comedy
Melonfarmer illuminates the difficulty of human communication in a
fast-paced urban society. By the Bog of Cats by Marina Carr

brutal Irish rural-Midlands life in which money and land outweigh
all other values.
