Description
This anthology provides access to neglected theatrical work and broadens our understanding of the history of Irish theatre as well as the vital role of women within it. The introduction places these plays in dialogue with one another as well as within the national context of the repealing of womenâ?Ts rights during the Irish Free State years. These are plays by authors including Mary Manning, Dorothy Macardle, Mary Devenport Oâ?TNeill, Kate O'Brien and Margaret Oâ?TLeary, which are difficult to access, but which are increasingly visible in Irish theatre scholarship. This unique collection places the playwrights in dialogue to form a tradition of womenâ?Ts theatrical work that challenges the male-dominated literary canon of Irish theatre, as well as enriching the body of womenâ?Ts theatrical work in the Anglophone world during the interwar years. Includes the plays:Kate Oâ?TBrien â?" Distinguished Villa (1926)Margaret Oâ?TLeary â?" The Woman (1929)Mary Manning â?" Youthâ?Ts the Season (1931)Dorothy Macardle â?" Witchâ?Ts Brew (1931)Mary Devenport Oâ?TNeill â?" Bluebeard (1933)
