A collection of essays about Irish women playwrights.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Introduction: Figures at the window / Melissa Sihra -- Woman as fantasy object in Lady Gregory's historical tragedies / Paul Murphy -- Writing women for a modern Ireland: Geraldine Cummins and Susanne Day / Velma O'Donoghue Greene -- The space outside: images of women in plays by Eva Gore-Booth and Dorothy Macardle / Cathy Leeney -- Taking their own road: the female protagonists in three Irish plays by women / Lisa Fitzpatrick -- From matron to matrix: gender, authority and (dis)embodimentin Beckett's theatre / Anna McMullan -- Beyond the pale: neglected Northern Irish women playwrights, Alice Milligan, Helen Waddell and Patricia O'Connor / Mark Phelan -- Meta-physicality: women characters in the plays of Frank McGuinness / Eamonn Jordan -- Dead women walking: the female body as a site for war in Stewart Parker's Northern star / Rachel O'Riordan -- Women in rooms: landscapes of the missing in Anne Devlin'sOurselves alone / Enrica Cerquoni -- Staging the liminal in âEilâis NâiDhuibhne's Dâun na mBan trâi thine (The fort of the fairy women is onfire) / Anthony Roche -- Sick, dying, dead, dispersed: the evanescenceof patriarchy in contemporary Irish women's theatre / Brian Singleton -- The house of woman and the plays of Marina Carr / Melissa Sihra -- Afterword: The actand the word / Olwen Fouâerâe.

This volume of essays explores the fascinating and immensely rich legacy of Irish women playwrights throughout the twentieth century and opens up essential dialogue on the politics of authorship, representationand the 'canon' of Irish theatre. Ideological, historical and culturalissues are discussed in relation to the performance of woman, gender, sexuality and the body on the Irish stage in plays by women and, to a lesser extent, by men. An appendix lists over two hundred Irish women playwrights and their works, contesting the traditional concept of Irish theatre as primarily a site ofmale authorship and authority. In this book unknown territories are discovered and familiar ones arerenegotiated, as the histories of Irish theatre are expanded, challenged and critiqued. Women in Irish Drama opens a space for previously forgotten or silenced voices and marks an exciting new beginning for the way in whichIrish theatre is considered in the twenty-first century.
