“While it might appear a purely historical book, Ireland, Memory and Performing the Historical Imagination ensures that the past is interrogated with the lens of current concerns—theatrically, theoretically, and philosophically.” (Brian Singleton, Theatre Journal, Vol. 68, (3), September, 2016)

“It serves as an excellent addition to the vast field of Irish theatre and performance studies research, and will be of great benefit to anyone with a keen interest in Irish theatre histories and the act of ‘remembering’ and ‘re-performing’ memory on the Irish stage.” (Carole Quigley, New Theatre Quarterly, Vol. 31 (3), August, 2015)


Ireland, Memory and Performing the Historical Imagination

von Mary P. Caulfield, herausgegeben von C. Collins
This book explores the performance of Irish collective memories and forgotten histories. It proposes an alternative and more comprehensive criterion of Irish theatre practices. These practices can be defined as the 'rejected', contested and undervalued plays and performativities that are integral to Ireland's political and cultural landscapes.
