Product Description

This book discusses Irish Passion plays (plays that rewrite or parody the story of the Passion of Christ) in modern Irish drama from the Irish Literary Revival to the present day. It offers innovative readings of such canonical plays as J. M. Synges The Playboy of the Western World, W. B. Yeatss Calvary, Brendan Behans The Hostage, Samuel Becketts Endgame, Brian Friels Faith Healer and Tom Murphys Bailegangaire, as well as of less well-known plays by Padraic Pearse, Lady Gregory, G. B. Shaw, Sen OCasey, Denis Johnston, Samuel Beckett and David Lloyd. Challenging revisionist readings of the rhetoric of blood sacrifice and martyrdom in the Irish Republican tradition, it argues that the Passion play is a powerful political genre which centres on the staged death of the (usually male) protagonist, and makes visible the usually invisible violence perpetrated both by colonial power and by the postcolonial state in the name ofmodernity.
