 Interview With Frank Dunlop, Director And Adaptor Of "Address Unknown"
Although Dunlop says he was aware that the play had a mostly liberal audience, he was made intensely aware of the schism between the political parties by the cheering that came from the Democrats and, of course, the old Republicans who got up and shouted back at the Democrats.
Dunlop says that he was aware at the time he first read Taylor's story how its theme (from Taylor's afterword to the book) - "what happens to real living people swept up in a warped ideology" - is destined to resonate 65 years later.
Dunlop was also the founding director of the BAM Theater Company, whose distinguished members included Rosemary Harris, Blythe Danner, Ellen Burstyn, Tovah Feldshuh, Rex Harrison, Denholm Elliot, Rene Auberjonois, and Richard Dreyfuss.

 Western People: Tales of intrigue in Dunlop’s book
Dunlop’s evident dislike of Pee’s flamboyant persona peeps through in his dismissal of the Mayoman as “a political weathervane” who later opportunistically turned against Haughey in favour of another member of “the country and western set”, Albert Reynolds.
In contrast, Dunlop is highly complimentary to Ray MacSharry, who struck him as a man who early in life in Sligo had decided that he was not going to be put down by anybody, let alone those who might have thought that they were his intellectual superiors such as Des O’Malley and Martin O’Donoghue.
While Dunlop is correct in noting the explosion in the number of political reporters, he overlooks the fact that Healy’s pre-eminence rested on his having provided several generations of readers with the inner workings of cabinet and Dáil politics.

 SpinWatch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Dunlop's sketch of the communications chaos he found inside FF in the early days is convincing.
Dunlop briefly mentions the long forgotten 'Taca ' (the Gaelic word for support) initiative which solicited financial contributions 'from a new, moneyed class that had no real sympathy with the party's founding ideals and would eventually lead to its demise' (p 19).
That Dunlop would later, upon leaving the civil service for a career in public relations and lobbying, be a bag man for these same moneyed interests is an irony that escapes the author in these memoires.

Dunlop, with his second festival just about to open, has no intention of going.
Dunlop, a 58-year-old theater director of international renown who calmly sits in his London office drawing up plans for the 1986 festival, the local politicking is a greater problem than the possible financial squeeze.
Dunlop supports this concept, he does not want to compromise the festival's international status or dilute its program, and he wants to continue attracting big-name international attractions, even if this leads to charges of elitism.

 TIME.com: Et Tu, Dunlop! -- Apr. 24, 1978 -- Page 1
Director Frank Dunlop's conception of the play is so aberrant, so devoid of all sense and meaning, that when it does not border on the ludicrous it achieves the inane.
Dunlop has given us a Rome sans populace, sans armies, and devoid of the pervasive presence of megalopolitan power—perhaps the most potent character in the drama.
Furthermore, Dunlop, who has a nimble intelligence and no inconsiderable gifts in stagecraft, seems either to have missed or ignored the moral point of the play.

 [No title]
Consider the case of director Frank Dunlop's stage adaptation of Kathrine Kressmann Taylor's popular 1938 novella "Address Unknown" into an epistolary drama.
Part of Dunlop's failure here as a director lies in the way he allows the two actors to give voice to their letters.
Dale and Atherton do their best to pull some emotional intensity from Dunlop's adaptation of Taylor's text and to engage the audience in the lives of these two characters, their friends and relatives and the upheaval of the early 1930s, but there is little room in this literary conceit to succeed as compelling drama.

 Nigel Hawthorne : Theatre : Taming of the Shrew
I EXPECT before long to see a Women's Lib "Taming of the Shrew" in which Petruchio is a loutish male chauvinist pig, Kate an ingenious diplomat artfully biding her time and the final speech of submission is played in a vein of mocking irony.
But you won't find any of this in Frank Dunlop's enjoyable knockabout version which returns to the Young Vic repertory almost entirely re-cast: this puts the emphasis on straightforward farcical fun rather than on the play's plug for male supremacy.
The award, presented anually by the theatre critics of Madrid, was won by the Young Vic for their production of The Taming of the Shrew, directed by Frank Dunlop, which opened the Madrid Festival last October.
