  • Interweaving the Local and the Global in Conor Mcpherson’S the Weir
    International Journal of Management and Applied Science, ISSN: 2394-7926 Volume-3, Issue-7, Jul.-2017 http://iraj.in INTERWEAVING THE LOCAL AND THE GLOBAL IN CONOR MCPHERSON’S THE WEIR MAHA ALATAWI School of English, drama, and Film Email: [email protected] Abstract- Focusing on the Irish playwright Conor McPherson’s the Weir, this paper explores how late- twentieth and early twenty-first century Irish drama – set within local places and shaped by the role of the supernatural – offers new ways in which to consider the relations between the national and the global. McPherson’s plays represent the interests of Ireland in specific time periods and places but have broader meaning and significance as they offer insight into the human condition. History and the supernatural are prevalent themes of McPherson’s works – he incorporates older traditions of ghost stories and storytelling – yet places them in a modern world. This paper argues for a realism that is grounded in the wider recognition of changing global, social and cultural conditions. Yet within these, certain human weaknesses and behavioural patterns remain static. In The Ethos of a Late-Modern Citizen, White suggests that changing democratic trends in Western societies asks for us to re-examine our role as citizens. White frames his theoretical approach by asking ‘what sort of "characteristic spirit" or "sentiment" should we be trying to cultivate as we seek to confront the deep challenges of late- modern life?’; citizens and minds of the future can no longer be inward looking or inward focused, but equally, as McPherson suggests in his plays, citizens rely on the personal associations and past experiences in order to forge an identity.

The play centers on Sharky, an alcoholic inspiration for The Seafarer: who returns home to care for his aging brother, Richard, who recently went blind. They are joined “The journey of The Seafarer was a long one for by Sharky’s friends Ivan and Nicky who are holed up me. There’s this monument in Ireland… a 5,000- in the basement of Richard’s home during a severe year-old tomb called Newgrange. It’s got a long storm. The friends’ poker game is interrupted by the tunnel with a little hole in the middle of it and arrival of a mysterious friend, Mr. Lockhart who raises on the winter solstice each year; the sun shines the stakes of the game damningly high. directly down that chamber and lights it up — on the darkest day of the year.

  • DISSERTATION Final
    “We've All To Grow Old”: Representations of Aging as Reflections of Cultural Change on the Celtic Tiger Irish Stage DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy In the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Christopher Austin Hill B.A., M.A. Graduate Program in Theatre History, Literature, Criticism The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Chair: Dr. Joy Reilly Dr. Jennifer Schlueter Dr. Ray Cashman Copyright by Christopher Austin Hill 2013 Abstract This dissertation discusses the work of four Irish playwrights: Sebastian Barry, Marina Carr, Conor McPherson, and Elaine Murphy. Specifically, it investigates the inclusion, by these playwrights, of “elderly” characters in their plays written between 1995 and 2010—a period of economic and cultural change known as the “Celtic Tiger.” This study argues that the way that aging and senescence—defined jointly as the process of aging and as the state of being “aged”—are represented on stage reveals a broader cultural negotiation of “new” and “old” Ireland. Into their representations of “old” characters, the playwrights discussed here have embedded a reflection of destabilized cultural narratives, which resulted from intense societal change in Ireland. ii Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to my wife Allison and to my amazing children. Without them, this work would have been impossible. Their unfailing support and love were a constant force of strength, which drove me throughout my research. Thank you—I love you. iii Acknowledgments There are many people who I wish to thank, and far too little space in which to do it.

  • The Night Alive and Other Plays ​By Conor Mcpherson
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACTS: Gus Schulenburg [email protected]​ g | 212­609­5941 May 2, 2016 ​ New from TCG Books: ​ The Night Alive and Other Plays by Conor McPherson ​ NEW YORK, NY – Theatre Communications Group (TCG) is pleased to announce the publication of The Night Alive and Other Plays by Conor ​ ​ ​ McPherson. The Night Alive earned the award for Best Play by the New York ​ ​ ​ Drama Critics’ Circle and was first produced at the Donmar Warehouse in London in the summer of 2013. The play has since received several subsequent productions in America in theatres such as Steppenwolf Theatre Company (Chicago) and Geffen Playhouse (Los Angeles). The collection also includes The ​ Birds, The Veil, and The Dance of Death. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ “Conor McPherson is one of the true poets of the theatre.” —David Cote, Time Out New York ​ With inimitable warmth, style, and craft, Conor McPherson’s new play The Night Alive deftly mines the ​ ​ humanity to be found in the most unlikely of situations. The Birds is a suspenseful, atmospheric adaptation of ​ ​ Daphne du Maurier’s enthralling short story, and The Veil weaves Ireland’s troubled colonial history into a ​ ​ transfixing story about the search for love, the transcendental, and the circularity of time. The final play in this collection, The Dance of Death, is a visceral new version of Strindberg’s compelling, bitingly funny ​ ​ battle of wills. “Conor McPherson, the Irish dramatist who gave us The Weir and Shining City, has a singular gift for ​ ​ ​ ​ making the ordinary glow with an extra dimension, like a gentle phosphorescence waiting to be coaxed into radiance.” —Ben Brantley, New York Times ​ Conor McPherson was born in Dublin in 1971.

He gave me license to write about time.” – Frank McGuinness (qtd. in Harrington 174) Abstract: Conor McPherson (1971) is considered to be one of the most innovative Irish playwrights, with an amazing gift for storytelling. However, he is a screen writer and film director as well. So far, he has written the script of I Went Down (1997), Saltwater (2001), The Actors (2003) and The Eclipse (2009); the last three he has also directed. McPherson was responsible for the adaptation of Samuel Beckett’s Endgame for Channel Four’s “Beckett on Film” series. This article aims at showing how he transposes Beckett’s stage directions of the play Endgame to the screen.
