An Introduction to Irish Theatre History: Episode 2 Nothing Exists In A Vacuum

Описание: Today, we look at where Irish theatre was ahead of the founding of the National Theatre at the Abbey, making a visit to some under-mentioned friends in the 18th Century, before having a good hard think about what created the climate that the Abbey Theatre could take off in, and rounding up with a quick hello to two of the most popular Irish theatre people of the 19th century, often now forgotten.

Edited from a Facebook Live recording in the group "My Friends do Awesome things. Let's Learn From Them!!!", and in association with The Chamber Theatre. The plan is to record one of these weekly for the next 15 or 16 weeks.
