History of Irish Theatre, 1601-2000

Chris Morash's widely-praised account of Irish Theatre traces an often forgotten history leading up to the Irish Literary Revival. He then follows that history to the present by creating a remarkably clear picture of the cultural contexts which produced the playwrights who have been responsible for making Irish theatre's world-wide historical and contemporary reputation. The main chapters are each followed by shorter chapters, focusing on a single night at the theatre. This prize-winning book is an essential, entertaining and highly original guide to the history and performance of Irish theatre.Morash, Christopher is the author of 'History of Irish Theatre, 1601-2000', published 2004 under ISBN 9780521646826 and ISBN 0521646820.
