This includes consideration of the movements that impacted 1920s London theatre, such as the influential repertory theatres of the first decade of the twentieth century, as well as the detailed history of the Irish Players. Each identified London-Irish production is discussed through contemporary theatre reviews from London newspapers and journals, and within the decade’s historical context. Dramatists, their plays, actors, producers, and the physical theatres are all considered as extensively as evidence allows. Major productions, like those of Lennox Robinson’s \u003ci\u003eThe White-Headed Boy\u003c\/i\u003e, Sean O’Casey’s \u003ci\u003eJuno and the Paycock\u003c\/i\u003e, and Bernard Shaw’s \u003ci\u003eSaint Joan\u003c\/i\u003e with its distinct Irish echoes are considered, along with productions of George Shiels’ \u003ci\u003eProfessor Tim\u003c\/i\u003e and Bernard Duffy’s \u003ci\u003eThe Counter Charm\u003c\/i\u003e and more. Producers discussed include James Fagan and Charles Macdona, while considered actors include Sara Allgood, Maire O’Neill, Arthur Sinclair, Fred O’Donovan, Ellen O’Malley, Ethel O’Shea, and many more. This leads, for the first time, to a full portrait of the Irish theatre that was produced in London during the 1920s in not only the West End, but also in smaller London theatres and in suburban repertory theatres.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55023811821912,"sku":"9781041120254","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781041120254.jpg?v=1769109339","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/1920s-london-irish-theatre","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
