 | | The emblem of the Abbey Theatre, a "familiar insignia that is to be seen on all its old programme covers" (Johnston 143), is a painting of the mythical Irish heroine, Queen Maeve, her hound by her side, hunting. |
 | | The project of the national theatre was a recollective, sometimes even escapist one, and the privileged places were the past and/or the rural area or country where agriculture ties the folk to the land and the celebrated people were the country folk or peasant who were, in fact, representatives, repositories, and guardians of the past). |
 | | Thus, it could be said the truly national Irish theatre, the one that remained eternally aware of the cultural-historical conditions of the modern Irish experience was the one that was not accorded official recognition and support, the one that was driven underground and, ultimately, died. |
