In 1597, the satirical play "Isle of Dogs" by Thomas Nashe and Ben Jonson opened at the Swan Theater in London. It was a howling success with its first and only audience, but the authorities were not amused. The play was slammed shut, most everyone connected with it was arrested, and all scripts seized and burnt. Only a few scraps of evidence survive about the play. This is an attempted restoration. You will be regaled with the roast of Elizabethan nobles, and be a companion of duplicitous actors. It is a comedy of scandalous pith; nothing was too good for the hounds of London. Beware of little Margot, she bites. She hath no art. COPYRIGHT, 2024

Women in Irish Drama: A Century of Authorship and Representation (2007)
Featuring original essays by leading scholars in the field, this book explores the immense legacy of women playwrights in Irish theatre since the beginning of theTwentieth century. Chapters consider the intersecting contexts of gender, sexuality and the body in order to investigate the broader cultural, political and historical implications of representing 'woman' on the stage. In addition, a number of essays engage with representations of women by a selection of male playwrights in order to re-evaluate familiar contexts and traditions in Irish drama. Features a Foreword by Marina Carr and a useful appendix of Irish women playwrights and their works.
