Hide-DRAM20110 Contemporary Ireland On Stage
Academic Year 2022/2023
This course examines new Irish theatre from the 1980s forward, with particular emphasis over the past twenty-five years, during a time of profound economic and social change. The disintegration of a unified national consciousness is reflected on Irish stages, and the proliferation of forms, themes, and styles signals trans-national concerns, urban consciousness, recreation of ‘traditional’ images and themes, and an interrogation of narrative, identity, and empathy.
Learning Outcomes:
On completion of the course students should:
be familiar with a range of contemporary Irish plays;
be aware of issues of representation, convention and innovation in contemporary Irish theatre;
be able to discuss and write critically about contemporary theatre
practice in Ireland;
be familiar with current sources on contemporary Irish theatre.
