Description
This volume is a welcome re-issuing of the dramatic writings of one of Irelands most important women writers. Teresa Deevys plays provided a viable female viewpoint on the tensions between individual selfhood and nationhood in Ireland in the 1930s and 1940s. This volume includes her most critically acclaimed writing for Dublins Abbey Theatre: The King of Spains Daughter, Katie Roche and The Wild Goose. It also publishes, for the first time, her compelling radio drama, Supreme Dominion. Deevys plays have continued to attract popular interest since her death in 1963, and her importance in terms of modern theatre, Irish studies, and womens studies cannot be underestimated.
