  • Dancing at Lughnasa
    1 Dancing at Lughnasa ACT ONE When the play opens MICHAEL is standing downstage left in a pool of light. The rest of the stage is in darkness. Immediately MICHAEL begins speaking slowly bring up the lights on the rest of the stage. Around the stage and at a distance from MICHAEL the other characters stand motionless in formal tableau. MAGGIE is at the kitchen window (right). CHRIS is at the front door. KATE at extreme stage right. ROSE and GERRY sit on the garden seat. JACK stands beside ROSE. AGNES is upstage left. They hold these positions while MICHAEL talks to the audience. MICHAEL. When I cast my mind back to that summer of 1936 different kinds of memories offer themselves to me. We got our first wireless set that summer – well, a sort of set; and it obsessed us. And because it arrived as August was about too begin, my Aunt Maggie – She was the joker of the family – she suggested we give it a name. She wanted to call it Lugh* after the old Celtic God of the Harvest. Because in the old days August the First was La Lughnasa, the feast day of the pagan god, Lugh; and the days and weeks of harvesting that followed were called the Festival of Lughnasa. But Aunt Kate – she was a national schoolteacher and a very proper woman --she said it would be sinful to christen an inanimate object with any kind of name, not to talk of a pagan god. So we just called it Marconi because that was the name emblazoned on the set.

  • Sam Shepard's 'Buried Child' to Be Final Cal Poly 2001-2002 Production
    Skip to Content Cal Poly News Search Cal Poly News Go California Polytechnic State University May 1, 2002 Contact: Jo Ann Lloyd (805) 756-1511 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Sam Shepard's 'Buried Child' To Be Final Cal Poly 2001-2002 Production The Cal Poly Theatre and Dance Department will close its 2001-2002 season with a six-day run in May of Sam Shepard's l979 Pulitzer Prize-winning play, "Buried Child." The production will be staged at 8 p.m. May 16-18 and May 23-25 in the Cal Poly Theatre. Universally acclaimed as a work of extraordinary vision and force, the darkly comic play explores the disintegration of a family filled with deep secrets and suppressed violence, according to the play's director, Pamela Malkin, associate department head of the Theatre and Dance Department. Shepard is regarded as one of the country's most significant contemporary playwrights. His other credits include the plays "Fool for Love," "True West" and "The Curse of the Starving Class." Shepard explores the rootlessness and isolation of modern America, Malkin said. San Luis Obispo native and social sciences junior Matt Richter is cast in the leading role of Dodge, the wickedly funny patriarch of the dysfunctional family. Richter has appeared in many Cal Poly productions, including "The Cal Poly Follies" and "A Midsummer Night's Dream," and as a member of the improvisational company Smile and Nod. Amanda Sitko of Morgan Hill portrays Halie, Dodge's equally eccentric wife. Sitko, a theatre arts senior and director of Smile and Nod, has also appeared in the Cal Poly productions of "All My Sons," "Dancing at Lughnasa," "I Hate Hamlet" and "A Man for All Seasons." David Edwards, director of the University Union at Cal Poly, is cast as Tilden, the oldest son.

  • Performance and Diaspora: Irish Theatre in Its International Contexts
    DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/2175-8026.2020v70z3n2p9 PERFORMANCE AND DIASPORA: IRISH THEATRE IN ITS INTERNATIONAL CONTEXTS Beatriz Kopschitz Bastos1* 1Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Florianópolis, SC, Brasil Patrick Lonergan2** 2National University of Ireland Galway, Ireland Irish theatre can be studied in at least two distinct yet complementary contexts: theatre that is made within Ireland for Irish audiences, and theatre that is made to tour internationally and which corresponds to non-Irish audiences’ expectations about what an “Irish play” should be. On the one hand, two major developments–the movement referred to as the Irish Renaissance (from the late nineteenth century to the first decades of the twentieth), and the foundation of an Irish National Theatre in 1904–established an autochthonous national tradition; while on the other, the emigration and semi-provisional relocation of Irish authors (before, during, and after the Irish Renaissance) caused Irish theatre to be explored in the contexts of, for example, the nineteenth-century fin-de-siècle, modernism in Europe, and Irish-America. Further to this, the diaspora of the Irish people, and tours by Irish theatre companies outside Ireland, expanded the range and recognition of Irish theatre in the international sphere, ranging from the plays of Dion Boucicault in New York in the second half of the nineteenth century, to the Abbey Theatre tours of the 1910s, to the present moment–which sees, for instance, plays by Irish writers on Broadway and in London’s West End in early 2020. Within the contemporary period, Irish theatre can also be seen in its national context–in the Republic of Ireland and in Northern Ireland–and in several * Faculty member in the Post-graduate Programme in English at the Federal University of Santa Catarina and production director of Cia Ludens, a Brazilian theatre company dedicated to Irish theatre.
