Drawing on archives of libraries in Dublin, New York City and Boston, DeGiacomo assesses T.C. Murray's contribution to the Irish dramatic movement. One of the Cork Realists of the Abbey Theatre, Murray wrote 17 plays in one, two or three acts. A prominent national teacher and a seemingly apolitical playwright in the Irish Literary Revival, Murray expressed nationalistic aspirations in his peasant tragedies. His characters' drive for self-determination and their religious consciousness mark Murray's dramatic landscape. Murray reveals his life in volumous correspondence with friends, family members and the glitterati of Dublin. A Roman Catholic, Murray tells his outsider story of the Abbey Theater, ruled by members of the Protestant, Anglo-Irish ascendancy. W.B. Yeats, Lady Gregory and Lennox Robinson fill his world, as do later figures like Ernest Blythe. Murray's association with the amateur dramatic societies reveals yet another dimension of his commitment to Irish drama. This text, largely a work of theater history, spans Murray's life and career from 1878 to 1959, and highlights Murray's plays on Abbey tours of America from 1911 to 1935.
Drawing on the archives of libraries in Dublin, New York City, and Boston, Albert J. DeGiacomo assesses T. C. Murray's contribution to the Irish dramatic movement. One of "the Cork realists" of the Abbey Theatre, Murray wrote seventeen plays in one, two, or three acts. A prominent National Teacher and a seemingly apolitical playwright in the Irish Literary Revival, Murray expressed nationalistic aspirations in his peasant tragedies. His characters' drive for self-determination and their religious consciousness mark Murray's dramatic landscape.
The playwriting career of Thomas Cornelius Murray (1873-1959) started in 1909 with the production of his first play, Wheel of Fortune (which he revised in 1913 and renamed Sovereign Love), at the Cork Little Theatre. His Birthright, produced at the Abbey Theatre in the following year, established him as a writer of stark and tragic realism. His most enduring plays were all written during the next two decades; none of the plays written after 1930 can be compared for quality with his earlier work. The present selection contains Sovereign Love, Birthright, Maurice Harte, The Briery Gap, Autumn Fire, and The Pipe in the Fields. Appendices contain Illumination and Murray's essay ""George Shiels, Brinsley MacNamara, Etc."" A bibliographical checklist of his writings is also included.
