Playboys of the Western World: Carysfort Press Ltd.

Autor Adrian Frazier
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 mai 2020
'Playboys of the Western World is a model of contemporary performance studies.' 'The book is remarkably well-focused: half is a series of production histories of Playboy performances through the twentieth century in the UK, Northern Ireland, the USA, and Ireland. The remainder focuses on one contemporary performance, that of Druid Theatre, as directed by Garry Hynes. The various contemporary social issues that are addressed in relation to Synge's play and this performance of it give the volume an additional interest: it shows how the arts matter.'
