The Trickle Down Effect: The 1911/1912 Abbey Theatre Tour of America and its impact on early African American Theatre Luke Devlin Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Edinburgh 2017 Abstract This thesis will examine the direct and indirect impact the Irish National theatre had upon American theatre in general and the African American theatre in particular. It discusses the relationship between the Irish theatrical movement during the Irish Literary Renaissance and the drama that was produced during the Harlem Renaissance. To do this Rorty’s concepts of the ‘strong poet’ and ‘ironist’ will be utilized. The bleeding and cross contamination of culture, it is contended, was due to the American tour that the Irish Players undertook in 1911/12. The tour, although staged in white theatre houses and attended by a mainly white audience, had a sizeable impact on the American theatrical landscape.

Introduction to devising Devising from a text stimulus requires all the skills of the deviser as well as the additional skills of literary analysis. The elements of the texts to be explored are: ● form ● structure ● character(s) ● dialogue ● themes, issues and ideas. By applying their literary understanding the students will then be able to make connections with practitioner methodology and appropriate styles of performance. This guide will outline possible playwrights and a selection of practitioners’ approaches to theatre making. It will then present ways that the text extract can be practically investigated to link with particular practitioner conventions and methods. The opportunities for devising pathways are endless. First it is important to check the details of Component 1, as outlined in the A level specification; these must be adhered to in the delivery of this Component: ● The performance must be a completely original work that uses an extract from a text as a stimulus. This means that words and lines from the extract must be reordered, reimagined and placed alongside the original words of the students or completely absent from the final devised work.

Degree awarded December 2019 ii © 2019 Jessica Kim Rogers iii DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Jessica Kim Rogers Doctor of Philosophy Department of Theatre Arts December 2019 Title: “Sisters of the Pen”: Restoring Women to Early Modern Theatre History Pedagogy and Practice This dissertation looks at current theatre historiography in terms of pedagogy and performance practices on the topic of early modern (seventeenth century) female dramatists, via select dramatic works of Elizabeth Cary, Viscountess Falkland; Margaret Cavendish, Duchess of Newcastle; and Aphra Behn. As early modern feminists, Cary, Cavendish, Behn, writing in different eras of the seventeenth century, each impacted theatre historiography by providing their unique perspectives on the roles of women in their times. Each of these women have a substantial history of literary study extending back decades; however, current practices in the areas of theatre history and theatre production minimize or dismiss the dramatic contributions of these women, generally for reasons pertaining to gender, and as such, there has been considerable oversight in the theatrical field as a result.
