		A sea change in the history of the Irish theatre came with the establishment in Dublin in 1899 of the Irish Literary Theatre, later to become the Abbey Theatre.
		Equally importantly, through the introduction by Yeats, via Ezra Pound, of elements of the Noh theatre of Japan, a tendency to mythologise quotidian situations, and a particularly strong focus on writings in dialects of Hiberno-English, the Abbey was to create a style that held a strong fascination for future Irish dramatists.
		These companies have nurtured a number of writers, actors, and directors who have since gone on to be successful in London, Broadway and Hollywood or in other literary fields.

		Although the documented history of Irish theatre began at least as early as 1601, the earliest Irish dramatists of note were William Congreve, one of the most interesting writers of Restoration comedies, and Oliver Goldsmith and Richard Brinsley Sheridan, who were two of the most successful playwrights on the London stage in the 18th century.
		However, it was in the last decade of the century that the Irish theatre finally came of age with the emergence of George Bernard Shaw and Oscar Wilde and the establishment in Dublin in 1899 of the Irish Literary Theatre.
		These companies have nurtured a number of writers, actors, and directors who have since gone on to be successful in London, Broadway and Hollywood.

	DruidSynge: Druid Theatre and John Millington Synge
		Druid’s development from being a regional theatre to the internationally acclaimed company we know today has been intimately interconnected with its work on Synge.
		Two of the company’s three founders – actor Marie Mullen and director Garry Hynes – had recently completed their studies at University College Galway, where both had been active in the student drama society.
		Druid’s decision to stage all of Synge’s works together – a task never before attempted– was first mooted in the late 1990s, and has been eagerly anticipated since that time.

	New York State Writers Institute - Playboy of the Western World Film Notes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The Druid Theatre Company has chosen to play down the plaintiveness of The Playboy (though it breaks through in certain speeches of Maeliosa Stafford, an excellent Christy Mahon), and play up the fun; and this results in a fair amount of noisiness and horseplay.
		In the early years the Druid’s repertoire was an eclectic mix of Ibsen, Buchner, Wilde and others, but gradually the company began to develop the production of the classic Irish repertoire which brought them to the forefront of the Irish theatre in the 1980s.
		Directing for the Abbey Theatre since 1984, Garry Hynes was appointed Artistic Director of the Irish national theatre in 1990, during which time she staged many successful productions and was responsible for premiering many new writers, including Marina Carr, Jimmy Murphy, Niall Williams and Bernard Farrell.

		One of the great traditional theatre traditions of the world presented here by members of the leading families of actors who uphold this exquisite and beautiful art form.

		Martin McDonagh says he rarely goes to the theatre, contends that he writes plays only to make the money to produce his own films, and claims to know little about the work of the great Irish playwrights like John Millington Synge, Sean O’Casey, and Samuel Beckett.
		At the company’s performance in New York the audience threw watches and potatoes; in Philadelphia the company was arrested for indecency and had to be rescued by John Quinn, a New York lawyer and patron of the arts.
		Certainly Hynes may have been predisposed to The Beauty Queen of Leenane because of the Druid’s success with Murphy’s 1985 play Bailegangaire (Town Without Laughter), featuring the late Siobháin McKenna in the role of the matriarch Mammo—a tour-de-force and her last role.

		But Garry Hynes's marathon Synge-cycle for Druid Theatre Company is a hugely inspiriting event: one that offers a rare chance to assess the man who did so much to shape modern Irish drama.
		One is of Synge as the inventor of modern Irish drama: he patented the tragi-comic vision of life that has permeated everything since from O'Casey and Beckett to McDonagh and McPherson.
		The other impression was one of awe at the achievement of this 44-strong Druid company, who stage six different shows in a day with miraculous fluency.

		Though the stage is bare the costumes are sumptuous, the frequently masked actors are all male and are accompanied by musicians on stage.
		Back in the theatre programme there will be the fascination of seeing all of Sygne at a sitting, a concentrated dose of theatre like this maybe an acquired taste but 8+hrs at £15 or £20, the price of the cheapest tickets, is a bargain.
