Learn more about Terence Rattigan in the online encyclopedia. Fifteen years after his death, largely through a magnificent revival of The Deep Blue Sea, at the Almeida Theatre, London, directed by Karel Reisz, Rattigan came to be seen as one of the century's finest playwrights, an expert choreographer of staged emotion, an anatomist of human emotional pain. He was knighted in the early seventies and moved back to Britain where he experienced a minor revival in his reputation before his death in 1977. Several of his later plays were adapted for film and/or television. www.onlineencyclopedia.org /t/te/terence_rattigan.html   (537 words)

Revival of Nationalism The Irish Literary Renaissance came as a result of the Irish Literary Theatre which was founded by William Butler Yeats and Lady Gregory in 1898, and which then became the Irish National Theatre Society in 1903. Writers like playwright JM Synge and poet George Russell (AE) emerged from this literary revival and these were followed by a long line of highly successful Irish authors, poets and playwrights, all of whom became famous in literary circles world-wide. The Irish Volunteers also tried to import arms, but when a yacht named “The Asgard” successfully discharged a cargo of rifles at Howth on Sunday 26th July 1914, the Volunteers were fired on by the British army as they marched back towards the city. www.hoganstand.com /general/identity/stories/revival.htm   (537 words)

Irish Literary Revival Formation of the Irish Literary Society by Yeats (in London in 1891 and Dublin in 1892) which led to the foundation of an Irish National Theatre (with the help of Lady Gregory) in about 1899. The Irish Literary Revival is the name given to the resurgence of Irish nationalism and culture which began in the last quarter of the 19   The society promoted the writing of Irish literature and the theatre became a venue in which talented Irish playwrights such as Yeats, Shaw, Synge, and O’Casey could produce their work. www.sfu.ca /english/Gillies/Engl20701/revival.html   (537 words)

At the 45th Dublin Theatre Festival The hottest ticket in town during the 45th Dublin Theatre Festival (Sept. 30-Oct. 12) was Steppenwolf's solid revival of "Glengarry Glen Ross." David Mamet's decidedly American accent not only filled the historic 19th-century Olympia theatre, but saturated bookshops and talk shows as well. For example, Galway's Druid Theatre Company staged a wonderful revival of John B. Keane's cottage drama, "Sive," and the Peacock Theatre (the Abbey's downstairs space) produced a quirky new urban play by Ken Har-mon, "Done Up Like a Kipper." But the Abbey Theatre premiere of Marina Carr's "Ariel" was perhaps the most anticipated opening. During October, as in other years, theatre-mad Dublin played host to the world, filling theatres, pubs, church halls, coffee houses, and even city squares with nearly 100 productions--18 listed in the main festival program and seemingly countless fringe shows. www.backstage.com /backstage/features/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1749313   (537 words)

Abbey Theatre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In its early years, the theatre was closely associated with the writers of the Celtic revival, many of whom were involved in its foundation and most of whom had plays staged there. The conjunction of a new building, a new generation of dramatists that included such figures as Hugh Leonard, Brian Friel and Tom Murphy, and the growth in Irish tourism with the National Theatre as a key cultural attraction helped to bring about a revival in the theatre's fortunes. Egged on by nationalists who believed that the theatre was not sufficiently political and with the pretext of a perceived slight on the virtue of Irish womanhood in the use of the word 'shift', a significant portion of the crowd rioted, causing the remainder of the play to be acted out in dumbshow. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Irish_National_Theatre_Society   (537 words)

Theatre - French's Theatre Books List While previous studies have concentrated on either the or the literary aspects of commedia dell’arte, this is the first book to consider how these two elements might have worked together to create this rich and fascinating theatre. He then follows that history to the present by creating a remarkably clear picture of the cultural contexts which produced the playwrights who have been responsible for making Irish theatre’s world-wide historical and contemporary reputation. This book, which also emphasises the existence of a link or a sense of organic continuity within African literary tradition, between the pre-colonial and post-colonial forms of drama and theatre, is interesting general reading and a valuable guide to students and scholars of African literature. www.samuelfrench-london.co.uk /sf/Pages/theatre-bks-list/theatre.html   (537 words)

Eire-Ireland:Journal of Irish Studies: An open national identity: Rutherford Mayne, Gerald MacNamara, and the plays of the Ulster Literary Theatre (8) For them, as for most of the playwrights of the Irish National Theatre Society, nationalism was not a political notion but a cultural focus rooted in the revival of "an ancient idealism"--an imaginative sensibility, as it were, dedicated to the discovery of a sincere national identity. The Ulster Branch of the Irish Literary Theatre, set up in 1902, brought plays from the Dublin-based dramatic revival on tour to Belfast. During the early decades of the twentieth century, while Ireland's Abbey Theatre tried hard to create a unified image of nationhood in the figure of a West-of-Ireland peasant, a little theatre company in the North of Ireland addressed issues of national representation by very different means. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m0FKX/is_1-2_39/ai_n6150062   (453 words)
