Barry Houlihan. Theatre and Archival Memory: Irish Drama and Marginalised Histories, 1951–1977

Abstract

This commendably archive-reliant book on Irish theatre covers the period 1951–77, taking the reader through the economic, sociopolitical, and cultural events of these years with confidence and efficiency. It asserts different ways of contextualizing the production and reception of many crucial performances, predominantly those staged in the Republic of Ireland.
