Gender, Performance, and Authorship at the Abbey Theatre
Gender, Performance, and Authorship at the Abbey Theatre reconsiders authorship at the Abbey Theatre. The actresses who performed the key roles at the Abbey contributed original ideas, language, stage directions, and revisions to the theatre's most renowned performances and texts, and this study asks that we consider the role of actresses in the development of these plays. With a focus on letters, diaries, archival photographs, and memoirs as well as morerecent theatre and performance criticism, this volume examines the way that the women who contributed to these roles have been written out of the history of the creation of these texts. Thinking about theplays as created in part by the actresses reveals new readings of the major texts of the Abbey Theatre. Plays that have been historically attributed to Yeats and Synge have complicated histories that demand re-examination of authorship.
