The Plays of Thomas Kilroy: A Critical Study

Autor Thierry Dubost
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 feb 2007
Born in Ireland in 1934, Thomas Kilroy attended the University College of Dublin, where he received a degree in education that led to a teaching career. With the 1973 success of his novel The Big Chapel, Kilroy took a break from teaching and devoted time to writing for the stage. Although he returned to the university scene in 1979 with a professorship at the University of Galway, he remained active in the dramatic arts, becoming a member of the Royal Society for Literature and the Irish Academy of Letters. Today, he has a number of plays and adaptations to his credit including The O'Neill, The Death and Resurrection of Mr. Roche, Tea and Sex and Shakespeare and an adaptation of Ibsen's Ghosts. This appraisal of the works of Thomas Kilroy focuses on the common themes and methodology of his plays, including an unusual alliance between serious theatrical complexity and varied but demanding forms of comedy. A separate chapter is devoted to each play with the exception of The Death and Resurrection of Mr. Roche and The MacAdam Travelling Theatre, whose complementary themes are discussed together. humanity with references to Irish history, generally using historical reality as a dramatic starting point. Plays discussed include Kilroy originals such as Talbot's Box, The Secret Fall of Constance Wilde and Blake as well as adaptations of well-known works such as The Seagull and Henry. Interviews with stage directors and the playwright himself contribute to this in-depth analysis of Kilroy's dramatic art. Photographs of staged plays and a list of premieres of Kilroy's works (plays and adaptations) are also included.
