There are more female playwrights now than ever before, but they are often ignored by mainstream theatres. Kearney and Headrick strive to shift the spotlight with \u003ci\u003eIrish Women Dramatists.\u003c\/i\u003e The plays collected in this volume represent a cross-section of the excellent dramatic output of Irish women writing in the twentieth century. In addition to the scripts and biographical introductions, the anthology includes a detailed, critical, annotated essay addressing the development of the Irish theatre throughout this time period, and the place women have artistically carved out for themselves in a traditionally male-dominated theatre industry and dramatic canon. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOne of the few collections of plays by Irish women, this volume contextualizes the political and sociological climate in which these playwrights developed. As theatre practitioners--actors and directors--as well as scholars, Kearney and Headrick have devoted years of research to discovering and rediscovering the contributions these women have made--and continue to make--in the Irish and world theatre scenes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eileen Kearney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0815633750\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815633754\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Syracuse University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Eileen Kearney","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120331321599,"sku":"9780815633754","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8b5714bb-efd5-44ed-a3e7-f9de3ab418d0.jpg?v=1687413758","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/irish-women-dramatists-eileen-kearney-9780815633754","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
