Description for Experimental Irish Theatre: After W.B. Yeats
Hardcover.
This book examines experimental Irish theatre that ran counter to the naturalistic 'peasant' drama synonymous with Irish playwriting. Focusing on four marginalised playwrights after Yeats, it charts a tradition linking the experimentation of the early Irish theatre movement with the innovation of contemporary Irish and international drama.

Reviews for Experimental Irish Theatre: After W.B. Yeats
"This is an important study of Irish theatre for its sophisticated dramaturgic analysis and for its demythologising of received views of Irish theatre. In this [Walsh] very much is true to the radical spirit of the playwrights he champions." - Anthony Roche, Irish Studies Review
