Detailed Information
DRAM20110 - Contemporary Ireland on Stage (Audit)* - 2017
This course examines Irish theatre over the past twenty-five years, during a time of profound leglislative, economic, social and cultural change. Plays performed during the Celtic Tiger period will be the main focus of this module.
How Irish plays gained international success, how new figures and forms of theatres emerged and how wealth, money, migration, globalisation variously impacted on writing and performance practices will be considered over the course of this module. Work by major figures like Conor McPherson, Marina Carr, Martin McDonagh, Marie Jones and Mark O'Rowe will be studied. There is a lecture and a small group teaching sessions per week.
