Irish theatre in England has frequently illustrated the complex relations between two distinct cultures. How English reviewers and audiences interpreted Irish plays is often decidedly different from how the plays were read in performance in Ireland. Through a collection by diverse authors, the twelve essays in this volume - the second in the Irish Theatrical Diaspora Series - investigate these issues from a variety of perspectives that together chart the trajectory of Irish performance in England from the mid-nineteenth century till today. They are complemented by a chronological table of Irish plays produced in London since 1920.
