At first, Richard urges them to make peace. When diplomacy fails, he takes advice from his favorite administrator, Bagot, and then decrees the exile of Bolingbroke for ten years, and of Mowbray for life. Richard declares his intention to leave for Ireland and exacts new taxes to fund his “Irish wars.” He receives a stern rebuke from his uncle (Bolingbroke’s father), John of Gaunt; then, turning on Gaunt, hears forewarning of his deposition. With news of Gaunt’s death, Richard confiscates Gaunt’s estate. Nobles and commoners alike rally to Bolingbroke, newly arrived on English soil. Dis inherited, he now has leverage to break the terms of his exile. The Percys—comprising Northumber - land, his brother, Worcester, and his son, Hotspur—are especially active on Bolingbroke’s behalf, executing Bagot, negotiating the return of Bolingbroke’s lands, arresting Richard and stage-managing events wherein Richard cedes the crown to Bolingbroke. No sooner crowned, King Henry IV reflects on his greatest security challenges: the still- living Richard and his wayward son and heir, the Prince of Wales. An ambitious courtier, Sir Piers Exton, interprets Henry to desire Richard’s death. Upon presenting Richard’s body to the court, Exton is banished for life. Henry desires to lead a crusade to the Holy Land; it might, in addition to everything else, help to pacify England. It is not in his power, however, to curb the excesses of his son. Henry IV, Part I King Henry IV, while awaiting a response to his request for funding for his crusade, receives reports of rebellions at home. His son, meanwhile, plots a robbery on a London highway as a way of playing a trick on the disreputable knight, Falstaff. Henry IV clashes with the Percys, demanding the hostages they secured when fighting rebellions on the king’s behalf. The Percys choose rather to ally themselves with the rebels than surrender their hostages to the king. Prince Hal exploits Falstaff’s robbing of travelers by disguising himself and robbing Falstaff of his booty in turn. Later intercepting Falstaff at a tavern, he tolerates Falstaff’s inflated account, and then shows his hand. News of the Percy rebellion reaches the tavern; Hal rehearses the confrontation he expects with his father, with Falstaff standing in for the king. The Lord Chief Justice begs admission to search for Falstaff but, while Hal guaran - tees return of the money, he prevents his searching further. King Henry IV upbraids Hal for the same sins of reckless behavior that saw Richard lose the crown. Hal promises to show his reformation in the battle with the Percys. The king’s anger subsides and he gives Hal command of a battalion. The Scottish rebel, Douglas, kills successive noblemen disguised as the king, but the king himself survives. When Hal kills Hotspur, Falstaff feigns death. Hal is spooked to dis - cover Falstaff carrying Hotspur’s body from the battlefield. Hal decides to go along with Falstaff’s lie that he made the fatal incision. 17 LINCOLN CENTER FESTIVAL 2015 DRUIDSHAKESPEARE DruidShakespeare: Part 2 Henry IV, Part II Northumberland, the Lord Chief Justice, Silence Marie Mullen Poins, Gloucester Gavin Drea Falstaff Rory Nolan Boy, John of Lancaster Karen McCartney Doll Tearsheet, Clarence Charlotte McCurry Francois Marty Rea Bardolph Clare Barrett Hal/King Henry V Aisling O’Sullivan Mistress Quickly, Warwick John Olohan Pistol Aaron Monaghan Shallow Bosco Hogan King Henry IV Derbhle Crotty Bullcalf Garrett Lombard Approximate performance time: 1 hour, followed by a brief intermission Henry V Chorus, Pistol, Dauphin Aaron Monaghan King Henry V Aisling O’Sullivan Exeter Marie Mullen Westmoreland, Charles VI Bosco Hogan Archbishop of Canterbury, Constable of France Marty Rea Fluellen, Grandpré Garrett Lombard Nym, Monsieur Le Fer Charlotte McCurry Bardolph Clare Barrett Mistress Quickly, Governor of Harfleur John Olohan Boy, Bates, Salisbury Karen McCartney Cambridge, Gower, Orleans Rory Nolan Gloucester, Rambures, Williams Gavin Drea Montjoy Derbhle Crotty Approximate performance time: 1 hour 25 minutes Approximate performance time of DruidShakespeare: Part 2: 2 hours 45 minutes, including one intermission For descriptions and full titles of the characters, see Who’s Who in DruidShakespeare on pages 22 and 23. 18 LINCOLN CENTER FESTIVAL 2015 DRUIDSHAKESPEARE Synopses Henry IV, Part II King Henry IV cannot sleep and shows signs of illness. Prince Hal confesses to his com - panion, Poins, his sadness before his father’s failing health. Hal spies on Falstaff while disguised as a barman. He sees a prostitute dote on Falstaff. He hears Falstaff squabble with the tavern’s hostess, Mistress Quickly, and mock him and Poins for laddish exploits. Falstaff, under pressure from Hal, then cuts down the very people who maintain his world. Attending at the king’s side, Hal believes him to have died. He berates the crown resting beside the king for causing his early death. He then tries it on. The king wakes, distressed to see his crown removed. Discovering Hal to be the culprit, he demands they be left alone. He bemoans the misrule that will prevail on Hal’s succes - sion. Hal returns the crown with utmost respect. The king, appeased, advises Hal to pur - sue a foreign war to ensure unity at home. He asks to be returned to the “Jerusalem Chamber,” the room where he first took ill, believing it to be the place (and not Jerusalem in the Holy Land) where it is foretold he will die. King Henry V, the last to leave his father’s deathbed, singles out the Lord Chief Justice for jailing him some time previously. The Lord Chief Justice, offering no apology, can’t but think his life is forfeit; defying expectation, the new king appoints him as his chief advisor. The new king banishes Falstaff from his person. Falstaff, disbelieving, waits alone in the street for a summons to court. Henry V King Henry V hears that his claim to the French crown coming through the female line is legitimate. He receives a gift of tennis balls from the French court. He returns a message that amounts to a declaration of war. Associates of Falstaff, Pistol, and Nym lock swords over gambling debts and broken be - trothals, while Bardolph threatens them both in an attempt to make peace. The king’s first act of aggression on French soil, a siege on the coastal town of Harfleur, meets with little resistance. Henry sanctions the execution of Bardolph—whom he knows from his days with Falstaff—for stealing from a church. The French king seeks punitive reparations through his ambassador, Montjoy.

  • Literary and Cultural Events in Ireland
    Estudios Irlandeses, Issue 16, 2021, pp. 221-223 https://doi.org/10.24162/EI2021-10070 ___________________________________________________________________________AEDEI LITERARY AND CULTURAL EVENTS IN IRELAND ANNUAL REPORT – 2020 Christina Hunt Mahony Copyright (c) 2021 by Christina Hunt Mahony. This text may be archived and redistributed both in electronic form and in hard copy, provided that the author and journal are properly cited and no fee is charged for access. As this is the year remarkable for all the things that did not happen, it is important to remember, and to prize, all those literary, artistic and cultural events which did happen – often against great odds. And, just as there was stark inequity in the fortunes of different kinds of businesses during the pandemic, some areas of cultural activity fared far better than others. Publishing and book selling has had to adjust to our new reality, and although the cherished Irish tradition of the book launch has gone the way of live theatre, cinema-going and indoor concerts, the book trade flourishes. As do the prize giving processes. Recent major publications in Irish Studies include a flurry of new collections of short stories, most notably Kevin Barry’s, That Old Country Music. Sinead Gleeson has also produced yet another impressive anthology, a whacking great collection of 100 Irish short stories, weighing in at 1200 grams, and containing more than 800 pages of stories by classic writers and newcomers alike – The Art of the Glimpse – perfect for a Covid winter. A volume that will fit much more snugly in the hand or the pocket is Roy Foster’s On Seamus Heaney, the latest in the excellent Princeton University Press series of Writers on Writers.

  • The Dublin Gate Theatre Archive, 1928 - 1979
    Charles Deering McCormick Library of Special Collections Northwestern University Libraries Dublin Gate Theatre Archive The Dublin Gate Theatre Archive, 1928 - 1979 History: The Dublin Gate Theatre was founded by Hilton Edwards (1903-1982) and Micheál MacLiammóir (1899-1978), two Englishmen who had met touring in Ireland with Anew McMaster's acting company. Edwards was a singer and established Shakespearian actor, and MacLiammóir, actually born Alfred Michael Willmore, had been a noted child actor, then a graphic artist, student of Gaelic, and enthusiast of Celtic culture. Taking their company’s name from Peter Godfrey’s Gate Theatre Studio in London, the young actors' goal was to produce and re-interpret world drama in Dublin, classic and contemporary, providing a new kind of theatre in addition to the established Abbey and its purely Irish plays. Beginning in 1928 in the Peacock Theatre for two seasons, and then in the theatre of the eighteenth century Rotunda Buildings, the two founders, with Edwards as actor, producer and lighting expert, and MacLiammóir as star, costume and scenery designer, along with their supporting board of directors, gave Dublin, and other cities when touring, a long and eclectic list of plays. The Dublin Gate Theatre produced, with their imaginative and innovative style, over 400 different works from Sophocles, Shakespeare, Congreve, Chekhov, Ibsen, O’Neill, Wilde, Shaw, Yeats and many others. They also introduced plays from younger Irish playwrights such as Denis Johnston, Mary Manning, Maura Laverty, Brian Friel, Fr. Desmond Forristal and Micheál MacLiammóir himself. Until his death early in 1978, the year of the Gate’s 50th Anniversary, MacLiammóir wrote, as well as acted and designed for the Gate, plays, revues and three one-man shows, and translated and adapted those of other authors.

  • Henry Iv, Parts One &
    HENRY IV, PARTS ONE & TWO by William Shakespeare Taken together, Shakespeare's major history plays cover the 30-year War of the Roses, a struggle between two great families, descended from King Edward III, for the throne of England. The division begins in “Richard II,” when that king, of the House of York, is deposed by Henry Bolingbroke of the House of Lancaster, who will become Henry IV. The two Henry IV plays take us through this king's reign, ending with the coronation of his ne'er-do-well son, Prince Hal, as Henry V. In subsequent plays, we follow the fortunes of these two families as first one, then the other, assumes the throne, culminating in “Richard III,” which ends with the victory of Henry VII, who ends the War of the Roses by combining both royal lines into the House of Tudor and ruthlessly killing off all claimants to the throne. What gives the Henry IV plays their great appeal is the presence of a fat, rascally knight named Falstaff, with whom Prince Hal spends his youth. Falstaff is one of Shakespeare's most memorable characters and his comedy tends to dominate the action. He was so popular with audiences that Shakespeare had to kill him off in “Henry V,” lest he detract from the heroism of young King Henry V. “Henry IV, Part One,” deals with a rebellion against King Henry by his former allies. The subplot concerns the idle life led by the heir to the throne, Prince Hal, who spends his time with London's riffraff, even going so far as to join them in robbery.

  • The Role of Irish-Language Film in Irish National Cinema Heather
    Finding a Voice: The Role of Irish-Language Film in Irish National Cinema Heather Macdougall A Thesis in the PhD Humanities Program Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Concordia University Montreal, Quebec, Canada August 2012 © Heather Macdougall, 2012 ABSTRACT Finding a Voice: The Role of Irish-Language Film in Irish National Cinema Heather Macdougall, Ph.D. Concordia University, 2012 This dissertation investigates the history of film production in the minority language of Irish Gaelic. The objective is to determine what this history reveals about the changing roles of both the national language and national cinema in Ireland. The study of Irish- language film provides an illustrative and significant example of the participation of a minority perspective within a small national cinema. It is also illustrates the potential role of cinema in language maintenance and revitalization. Research is focused on policies and practices of filmmaking, with additional consideration given to film distribution, exhibition, and reception. Furthermore, films are analysed based on the strategies used by filmmakers to integrate the traditional Irish language with the modern medium of film, as well as their motivations for doing so. Research methods included archival work, textual analysis, personal interviews, and review of scholarly, popular, and trade publications. Case studies are offered on three movements in Irish-language film. First, the Irish- language organization Gael Linn produced documentaries in the 1950s and 1960s that promoted a strongly nationalist version of Irish history while also exacerbating the view of Irish as a “private discourse” of nationalism. Second, independent filmmaker Bob Quinn operated in the Irish-speaking area of Connemara in the 1970s; his fiction films from that era situated the regional affiliations of the language within the national context.

  • UNPACKING the MERRY WIVES Robert Brazil K
    UNPACKING THE MERRY WIVES Robert Brazil k HAKESPEARE’S play, The Merry Wives of Windsor, is filled with fascinating enig- mas. This comedy, set in the environs of Windsor Castle, weaves together a street level story of love, lust, greed, competition and humiliation with a commentary on society that, while it spoke directly to the concerns of its contemporary late six- teenth-century audience, abounds with references that are extremely suggestive today to students and researchers of the Oxfordian theory. Because Merry Wives was first printed in 1602, most standard commentators on Shakespeare consider it to be a mid- career play, written while the author was at the height of his powers, roughly simultaneous with Hamlet. Yet everything about the play, including the sensibility, the crude style, and the too-old contemporary allusions, suggests that it was an earlier work, its topical references and concerns those of the 1580s, with some 1590s references added to a later revival, to become an interesting anachronistic revival by 1602. The central ideas and plot elements in Merry Wives involve the high stakes wooing of young Anne Page by three suitors, the farcical woo- ing of Mrs. Ford by three other suitors, the complex humiliations of Falstaff, Master Ford, Slender, Doctor Caius and others, and Master Ford’s fear that he will be cuckolded. As the play begins, Shallow, Slender and Hugh Evans are walking into the village in front of Page’s house. Shallow states that he won’t change his mind, he is going to make a Star Chamber affair out of Falstaff’s offense, introducing a subplot that has little apparent rele- vance to the main plot, but which is filled with accurate descriptions of county lawsuits and disputes and the archaic Latin-based bureaucracy associated with the process.

The play deals with a family, who as part of a daily enforced ritual, re-enact a farce, written and directed by Dinny, the patriarch, a story which accounts for their exile in London, and away from their family home in Cork. Their enactment is an attempt to create a false memory, for their performance is very much at odds with the real events which provoked their exile.
