The politics of Irish drama have previously been considered primarily the politics of national self-expression. Here it is argued that Irish plays, in their self-conscious representation of the otherness of Ireland, are outwardly directed towards audiences both at home and abroad. The political dynamics of such relations between plays and audiences is the book's multiple subject: the stage interpretation of Ireland from The Shaughraun to Translations; the contentious stage images of Yeats, Gregory and Synge; reactions to revolution from O'Casey to Behan; the post-colonial worlds of Purgatory and All that Fall; the imagined Irelands of Friel and Murphy, McGuinness and Barry. With its fundamental reconception of the politics of Irish drama, this book represents an alternative view of the phenomenon of Irish drama itself. 410 0$aCambridge studies in modern theatre. 606 $aEnglish drama$xIrish authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPolitics and literature$zIreland$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aPolitics and literature$zIreland$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPolitical plays, English$xHistory and criticism 606 $aTheater$xPolitical aspects$zIreland 615 0$aEnglish drama$xIrish authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPolitics and literature$xHistory 615 0$aPolitics and literature$xHistory 615 0$aPolitical plays, English$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aTheater$xPolitical aspects 676 $a822.009/358 700 $aGrene$b Nicholas$0166090 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780243403321 996 $aThe politics of Irish drama$92306431 997 $aUNINA
