Riassunto

Making Theatre in Northern Ireland examines the relationships between theatre and the turbulent political and social context of Northern Ireland since 1969. It explores in detail key theatrical performances which deal directly with this context. The works examined are used as exemplars of wider approaches to theatre-making about Northern Ireland.
The book is aimed at a student readership: it is largely play text-based, and it contains useful contextualising material such as a chronological list of Northern Ireland's plays in the modern period, a full bibliography, and a brief chronology.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

'To read Tom Maguire's illuminating, ground-breaking study Making Theatre in Northern Ireland, you begin to understand to what degree Northern Ireland's writers have been hemmed in and corralled by the Troubles [...] It brings the discussion of theatre in Northern Ireland to a new level and will prove indispensable for practitioners, students and the public from now on.' --Irish Theatre, Autumn 2007

'This book gives a sense of the lived experience of the troubles as depicted in a very broad range of dramatic productions where the effects of political strife are performed by characters [...] Tom Maguire, in short, is a class act! --The Irish Book Review, Spring 2007

L'autore:
