An Open Access edition of this book is available on the Liverpool
University Press website and the OAPEN library. As the prominence
of the recent #WakingTheFeminists movement illustrates, the Irish
theatre world is highly conscious of the ways in which theatre can
foster social emancipation. This volume of essays uncovers a wide
range of marginalised histories by reflecting on the emancipatory
role that the Dublin Gate Theatre (est. 1928) has played in Irish
culture and society, both historically and in more recent times.
The Gate's founders, Hilton Edwards and Micheal mac Liammoir,
promoted the work of many female playwrights and created an
explicitly cosmopolitan stage on which repressive ideas about
gender, sexuality, class and language were questioned. During
Selina Cartmell's current tenure as director, cultural diversity
and social emancipation have also featured prominently on the
Gate's agenda, with various productions exploring issues of
ethnicity in contemporary Ireland. The Gate thus offers a unique
model for studying the ways in which cosmopolitan theatres, as
cultural institutions, give expression to and engage with the
complexities of identity and diversity in changing, globalised
societies. CONTRIBUTORS: David Clare, Marguerite Corporaal, Mark
Fitzgerald, Barry Houlihan, Radvan Markus, Deirdre McFeely, Justine
Nakase, Siobhan O'Gorman, Mary Trotter, Grace Vroomen, Ian R.
