An Introduction to Irish Theatre History: Episode 5. A Dream of Fair to Middling Theatre

Описание: After the energy spent building a new state and developing its capacities, in theatre and otherwise, Ireland fell into somewhat of a decline. Emigration rose, and it seemed that all good things came from elsewhere. What of the Irish theatre at this point? Who was doing what, where was it happening, and how was it connected to the life of the state?

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. This is a series of 8 core videos about the history of Irish Theatre, supplemented by additional videos on other Irish theatre characters, theatres, organisations, and stories.

Dream of Fair to Middling Women was Samuel Beckett’s first novel, ultimately rejected and not published until after his death. It is somewhat autobiographical, and deal with the denial of realism and the idea of anti-feminism.
