This remarkable anthology offers a gateway to overlooked theatrical masterpieces, expanding our knowledge of Irish theater's rich history and the significant contributions of women within it. The introduction skillfully weaves these plays into conversation, both with each other and within the broader context of the repeal of women's rights during the Irish Free State years.
Included in this collection are works by renowned authors such as Mary Manning, Dorothy Macardle, Mary Devenport ONeill, Kate O Brien, and Margaret OLeary. While these plays may be difficult to access, they are gradually gaining recognition in Irish theater scholarship. This unique anthology brings these playwrights together, fostering a tradition of women's theatrical work that challenges the male-dominated literary canon of Irish theater and enriches the body of women's theatrical work in the Anglophone world during the interwar years.
The plays featured in this anthology are:
Kate O Brien – Distinguished Villa (1926)
Margaret OLeary – The Woman (1929)
Mary Manning – Youths the Season (1931)
Dorothy Macardle – Witchs Brew (1931)
Mary Devenport ONeill – Bluebeard (1933)
By delving into these forgotten works, this anthology provides a valuable insight into the diverse and pioneering theatrical contributions of women in Ireland during a pivotal period in its history. It is a testament to the enduring power of theater to challenge norms, question authority, and celebrate the diverse voices and experiences of women.
