Description and Table of Contents
Description
This series aims to introduce the reader to major 19th and 20th century dramatists, movements and new forms of drama throughout the world. This book is an examination of the work of the most influential modern Irish dramatists to show how their work contributes to a different view of what constitutes "Irish" and "drama". The development of contemporary drama in the 1980s into a depiction of a new Irish reality has contributed to a new Irish drama aesthetic, sparked originally by plays such as Hugh Leonard's "Da" and Stewart Parker's "Spokesong".
