These locations are also essential in understanding the range and reach of Friel's theatrical concerns and his projected audience. From his first major success on stage, \u003ci\u003ePhiladelphia\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e Here I Come! \u003c\/i\u003ein 1964 to the triumph of \u003ci\u003eDancing at Lughnasa \u003c\/i\u003ein 1990, Friel has revived and revised the Irish tradition of verbal theatre. This book offers a critical examination of Friel's dramatic writing both within the context of Irish storytelling and considering his crucial position as a writer from the north of Ireland negotiating between the responsibilities of art and the demands of violent conflict. Friel's work forms the cornerstone of contemporary Irish drama and this comprehensive study shows why he is recognised as one of the most significant and influential playwrights writing today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Liverpool University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47584027574423,"sku":"9780746308196","price":1669.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780746308196.webp?v=1774953579","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/brian-friel-9780746308196","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
