Synge, Wilde, Shaw, and the Irish Renaissance: Crash Course Theater #36

  • Опубликовано: 8 ноя 2018
  • The Irish Renaissance in the early 20th century included a wealth of new plays written both in Ireland, and by Irish ex-patriots elsewhere. W.B. Yeats, Lady Augusta Gregory, and J.M. Synge were creating a new national theater of Ireland at the Abbey Theatre. They often drew their stories from the fabric of Irish life. Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw were meanwhile writing important (and often hilarious) works on the world stage.

    The funny thing about all Irish writing from this period is that if today you walk around the streets of Dublin you may say the faces of all of these writers, and others such as Joyce and Beckkett, postered in every bar and statued on every street however when they were alive much of their work was banned.
    Many of our best writers (and our best in other arenas) didn't leave the country but fled it. They wrote about Ireland as it was then without any decoration. The Irish saw themselves clearly and turned away not liking what they saw.

    It's not that important but there is a small mistake at 1:57.
    The Abbey Theatre is still in the same location that it opened in 1904.
    There was a time from 1951 to 1966 were they had to move to a different building due to a fire until the theatre could be rebuilt.

    I tried to find the actual source of the Shaw quote at the end of the video, but was unable to do so. A couple of essays and papers quote it, but none of them state where they originally got it from. Only that it's supposed to be a quote by Shaw. I would love to include this quote into a thesis of mine that I'm writing about fin de siècle drama, but without an actual source, this is somewhat difficult unfortunately. Do you happen to remember where you came across the quote?

I don't believe any of them did.

Our culture is Gaelic written in Irish by the Irish. This is why I maintain the Irish cannot write plays or poetry only the English can do it well enough. But we can write and play music, and tell stories better than anyone, and that to me is true Irish art, not the works of Yeats Wilde or shaw.
