Includes Bibliography and Index. First American Edition "In the past twenty years the urban plays of Dublin and Belfast and the rural plays of the West of Ireland have sparked radical developments in the contemporary Irish drama of the 1980s. From North and South has come a burgeoning of drama that expresses Irish nationalism and identity more than the work of Yeats, Lady Gregory, Synge, the Fays, Lennox Robinson and O'Casey. A more difficult and intractable reality is now being depicted: Ireland as part of a world threatened by neo-colonialism and by the gross and increasing imbalance between rich and poor nations. In this important study Michael Etherton traces the history, growth and development of modern dramatic trends in Ireland. Through an examination of the theater of Dublin and Belfast, and a concentration on the plays of Thomas Murphy, Brian Friel, Margaretta D'Arcy and John Arden, he reveals the striking fusion of theatrical change and modern Irish thought that has produced this revolution in drama" [from the dust jacket].
