- Purpose
- To develop and co-ordinate research on the production and reception of Irish drama in its local, national and international contexts.
- Scope
- Irish drama for the purpose of this project will be defined as including all theatrical performances within the island of Ireland, and any theatrical performances outside the country involving Irish-born personnel or having substantial Irish content. The circulation of theatre into and out of as well as within Ireland will be a principal concern of the project. In the initial phase of the project, it will be limited to theatre from 1700 to the present, including English and Irish-language production. However, Irish dramatic material in other languages and from earlier periods may be incorporated at a later stage.
