Dublin by Lamplight (Methuen Drama) (Modern Plays) Book

Amidst the filth and fury of Dublin 1904, the theatrical event of the century is about to explode. Will the Irish National Theatre of Ireland seize its chance for glory? Fading stars, rebels, whores, and romantics irreverently expose the strange and lurid world of Dublin by Lamplight. "West's script brilliantly mixes fact and fiction, poetry and politics."—Guardian "A tour de force of theatrical vision ... wickedly entertaining ... It's like leaving the table after a perfectly chosen and cooked meal served in terrific company."—Sunday Independent "Awesome perfection ... funny, clever, strange, and thoughtful."—Irish Times "An absolute delight ... a triumph of innovation."—Sunday Business Post Dublin by Lamplight was devised by Michael West with The Corn Exchange Theatre Company. It premiered in Project Arts Centre in November 2004, toured through Ireland, and was subsequently performed at the Traverse Theatre Edinburgh in August 2005. West’s plays include Foley, A Play on Two Chairs, and Death and the Ploughman.Read More
