Textul de pe ultima copertă
“McIvor and Walsh take a bold stance in mapping whose voices are represented in ‘official’ histories and why. This is an indispensable book for anyone interested not only in modern Irish theatre but also in the methodologies and manners for constructing a nation’s theatre history.”
- Maria Delgado, Professor and Vice Principal (Research and Knowledge Exchange), The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, University of London, UK
“This is an original and extremely well-informed history of theatre practice on the island of Ireland from the late 1950s to the present day. McIvor and Walsh seek to decentralise the playwright to highlight the important contributions of artistic directors, scenographers, actors, activists and administrators. This book promises to become a landmark of Irish theatre studies for some time to come.” - Ondřej Pilný, Professor, Charles University, Prague
This open access book is a new survey of theatre practices in Ireland from 1957 to the present. Part I: Histories, situates the theatrical activity of twentieth and twenty-first century Ireland within its social and political contexts, identifies key practitioners, landmark productions, institutions, festivals, and seminal revivals. Part II: Theories, offers five key theoretical frameworks - nation, language, body, space and interculturalism - to examine contemporary Irish theatre practices. Contemporary Irish Theatre and Performance ultimately offers a more extensive story of contemporary Irish theatre documenting the diversity of practices and contributors that have populated the contemporary Irish theatre landscape since 1957.
