  • Theatre of Possession: a Discussion of Marina Carr's the Mai
    (37) 'Theatre of Possession: A Discussion of Marina Carr-s The Mai and the Theatre of Legend Making Mika Funahashi ¶le purpose of this paper is to consider Marina Carr's The Mai (premiered in 1994, published in 1995), as a complex narrative tapestry textured with colourful women's stories and talk. This play resembles a patchwork quilt. It is composed of various pieces of stories and dialogue, and sewed together wi仇a thread of narrative, by a narrator Millie, a daughter of 刀le Mai. I will show the power of Carr's various techniques of narrative and voice and the possibility that this play invites the audience to join the recurring dialogue on stage and question it. ¶lis paper will begin with the structure of the play, focusing on Millie's role as narrator, sped五cally on her storytelling technique. ¶lis will involve analysis of The Mai's suicide and her mother's death, in relation to the social and cultural roles of women in Ireland. Marina Carr (1964 - ) was one of the most successful playwrights in Irish theatre in the 1990s. Her career started with a comedy in the tradition of Beckettian theatre of the absurd, and her continued work in this genre is evident in her second play, Low in the Dark (1989). With her丘fth play, The Mai, she adopted a more naturalistic style. Her use of tragic family drama was established in this play and the subsequent two plays: Portia Coughlan (1996) and By the Bog of Cats (1998). While By the Bog of Cats is a reworking of Euripides'The Medea her most recent play, Aeriel(2002) returns to Greek myth.

Approved: Dr. John Watson This study explores and demonstrates how Marina Carr uses Irish folktale motifs in her plays to bring the audience to a state of mind where they viscerally, as opposed to intellectually, engage with Ireland's search for a cultural post-colonial identity. The analysis of Carr's works focuses on four of her post-Ivfai plays: The Mai, Portia Coughlan, By the Bog ofCats, and On Raftery's Hill. The focus is on the connection between these plays and Irish folklore, and explores Carr's use of folklore motifs within her plays.

  • 'Bodily Abjection and the Politics of Resistance in Tom Paulin's Greek Tragedies'
    Bodily Abjection and the Politics of Resistance in Tom Paulin’s Greek Tragedies Isabelle Torrance (Aarhus University) Accepted Manuscript Published: 21 December 2020 Classical Receptions Journal, claa030, https://doi.org/10.1093/crj/claa030 Abstract Tom Paulin’s Greek tragedies present extremes of bodily abjection in order to service of a politics of resistance that is tied, in each case, to the political context of the drama’s production. The Riot Act (1984), Seize the Fire (1989), and Medea (2010), share a focus on the degradation of oppressed political groups and feature characters who destabilize the status quo. Yet the impact of disruptive political actions is not ultimately made clear. We are left wondering at the conclusion of each tragedy if the momentous acts of defiance we have witnessed have any power to create systemic change within politically rigged systems. The two 1980s plays are discussed together and form a sequence, with The Riot Act overtly addressing the Northern Irish conflict and Seize the Fire encompassing a broader sweep of oppressive regimes. The politics of discrimination in Medea are illuminated by comparison with similar themes in Paulin’s Love’s Bonfire (2010). Unlike other Northern Irish adaptations of Greek tragedy, Paulin’s dramas, arrested in their political moments, present little hope for the immediate future. Yet in asking us to consider if individual sacrifice is enough to achieve radical change they maintain an open channel for political discourse. Paulin’s Greek Tragedies Tom Paulin has published versions of three Greek tragedies, reworking Sophocles’ Antigone and Aeschylus’ Prometheus Bound in the 1980s and returning to Greek tragedy in 2010 with his Medea.
