Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

From Boston to Berlin, and from Belfast to Beijing, the performances of Irish plays have been greeted with critical and box-office acclaim. Plays by Marina Carr, Brian Friel, Marie Jones, Martin McDonagh, Frank McGuinness, Tom Murphy, Mark O'Rowe, Conor McPherson and Enda Walsh have toured extensively, and have been translated and adapted for new performance contexts. This book examines the dramaturgical patterns in contemporary Irish plays, from 1980 to the present. In all of the work produced both locally and abroad, Ireland and a coerced and admired notion of 'Irishness' function in part as a commodity but also as something uniquely defiant, liberating and dissident in itself.
