  • Brian Friel, Ireland and Globalisation
    GRAAT On-Line issue #13 March 2013 Brian Friel, Ireland and Globalisation Martine Pelletier Université François-Rabelais, Tours ICD (EA 6297) The Celtic Tiger phenomenon has understandably drawn much attention in view of Ireland’s extremely rapid transformation from a traditional society with an ailing economy into a winner in the global game, all in the space of a few years during the 1990s. In his aptly named Luck and the Irish. A Brief history of Change, 1970- 2000 , Roy Foster recalls the sense of awe that many people felt as statistics accumulated, demonstrating Ireland’s sudden prosperity: Output in the decade from 1995 increased 350%, outpacing the per capita averages in the UK and the USA, personal disposable income doubled, exports increased fivefold, trade surpluses accumulated into billions, employment boomed, immigrants poured into the country. As the twentieth century reached its end, Ireland’s transformation was an established fact: the country had apparently become vastly rich. (Foster 7) Ireland could now compare favourably with the former colonial master, the United Kingdom, and with the economic superpower, the United States. Through this newly found prosperity, ghosts of the past were exorcised: “People bought into the idea that this wasn’t just an economic boom—it was a national vindication, a healing, the sense that our bad past was gone, and gone forever…” (O’Toole quoted in Nicoll). 63 Faced with such a seemingly miraculous metamorphosis, commentators could be seen to fall into two categories, the optimists and the pessimists or, as Foster calls them, “Boosters” and “Begrudgers.” Now that the global economic recession has killed the Celtic Tiger—a drop in growth of GDP from 6% in 2007 to -7.6% in 2009 leaving Ireland with a banking system in tatters, thousands of un-saleable housing units, a return to the bad old days of mass emigration 1 and double digit unemployment figures—the warnings of the begrudgers have acquired a prophetic value.

I think that it’s an offence to ourselves and to our own self respect as people ... the kind of unpleasant and insinuating remarks that people, the kind of deep suspicion, and it is not what I know Irish people to be and yet we suddenly find ourselves confronted with this awful thing and finding a part of us exposed ... (Gerry Stembridge) These comments were made by Irish film director Gerry Stembridge during an interview concerning his TV drama A Black Day at Black Rock (2001) on the popular RTE talk show The Late Late Show in January 2001. A Black Day at Black Rock is set in the fictional Irish village of Black Rock, many of whose residents react with fear and “deep suspicion” when they are informed that thirty asylum seekers are to be housed in a hostel in their community.

  • War Cinema– Or How British Films Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Affluent Society
    1 THE PROFESSIONAL OFFICER CLASS IN POST- WAR CINEMA– OR HOW BRITISH FILMS LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE AFFLUENT SOCIETY A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Andrew Roberts College of Business, Arts and Social Sciences of Brunel University 22nd September2014 2 ABSTRACT My central argument is that mainstream British cinema of the 1951 – 1965 period marked the end of the paternalism, as exemplified by a professional ‘officer class’, as consumerism gradually came to be perceived as the norm as opposed to a post-war enemy. The starting point is 1951, the year of the Conservative victory in the General Election and a time which most films were still locally funded. The closing point is 1965, by which point the vast majority of British films were funded by the USA and often featured a youthful and proudly affluent hero. Thus, this fourteen year describes how British cinema moved away from the People as Hero guided by middle class professionals in the face of consumerism. Over the course of this work, I will analyse the creation of the archetypes of post-war films and detail how the impact of consumerism and increased Hollywood involvement in the UK film industry affected their personae. However, parallel with this apparently linear process were those films that questioned or attacked the wartime consensus model. As memories of the war receded, and the Rank/ABPC studio model collapsed, there was an increasing sense of deracination across a variety of popular British cinematic genres. From the beginning of our period there is a number films that infer that the “Myth of the Blitz”, as developed in a cinematic sense, was just that and our period ends with films that convey a sense of a fragmenting society.

  • Monologue Drama in Ireland from 1964 – 2016: Form and Per(Form)Ativity
    1 “Impossible Speech” - Monologue Drama in Ireland from 1964 – 2016: Form and Per(form)ativity A thesis submitted to the School of Creative Arts, Trinity College Dublin, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2018 Tim Barrett, MPhil 2 Declaration I declare that this thesis has not been submitted as an exercise for a degree at this or any other university and it is entirely my own work. I agree to deposit this thesis in the University’s open access institutional repository or allow the library to do so on my behalf, subject to Irish Copyright Legislation and Trinity College Library conditions of use and acknowledgement. ______________________________ Tim Barrett 3 Summary This dissertation is a study of monologue drama by Irish playwrights on the island of Ireland from 1964 to 2016. The starting point of 1964 has been selected as it was the year of the first production of Brian Friel’s Philadelphia Here I Come!, a study of which opens Chapter One of the thesis. The thesis proceeds through a consideration of different productions of monologue plays across recent decades in Irish history and through different social, economic and cultural contexts. I will identify monologue drama as a topic that has received limited attention by scholars and argue that my dissertation addresses that deficit in the field. The critical methodology I have adopted is the analysis of a selection of texts of monologue plays from 1964 to 2016, including references to the first productions of those plays, their critical reception and the historical context in which those plays were produced.

(1964). The article also explores the question of emigration from Ireland in the 1950s and 1960s, considering British legislation on the matter, and comments on the eventual influence such issue, among other factors, may have had on criticism about the performance of the play at the time. KeywordsKeywords: Irish theatre, Brian Friel, Philadelphia, Here I Come!, emigration, reception, Britain. A significant number of Brian Friel’s plays have been situated in the fictional town of Baile Beag, in the county of Donegal.
