Covering three hundred years of Irish theatre history from 1716 to 2016, it is the most comprehensive study of plays written by Irish women to date. These short essays provide both a valuable introduction and innovative analysis of key playtexts, bringing renewed attention to scripts and writers that continue to be under-represented in theatre criticism and performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVolume Two contains chapters focused on plays by sixteen Irish women playwrights produced between 1992 and 2016, highlighting the explosion of new work by contemporary writers. The plays in this volume explore women's experiences at the intersections of class, sexuality, disability, and ethnicity, pushing at the boundaries of how we define not only Irish theatre, but Irish identity more broadly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCONTRIBUTORS: Nelson Barre, Mary Burke, David Clare, Shonagh Hill, \u003cem\u003e*Mária Kurdi, **José Lanters, **Fiona McDonagh, Dorothy Morrissey, Justine Nakase, Brian Ó Conchubhair, Brenda O'Connell, Shane O'Neill, Graham Price, **Siobhán Purcell, \u003c\/em\u003e *Carole Quigley, Sarah Jane Scaife, Melissa Sihra, Clare Wallace\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e**\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Clare\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1802073736\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781802073737\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liverpool University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.55d","brand":"David Clare","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48153844547839,"sku":"9781802073737","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ba8e8f56-c817-4a3a-be89-80d391939196.jpg?v=1770786212","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-golden-thread-david-clare-9781802073737","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
