Riot and Great Anger: Stage Censorship in Twentieth-Century Ireland

by Joan FitzPatrick Dean

Under the strict rule of twentieth century Irish censorship, creators of novels, films, and most periodicals found no option but to submit and conform to standards. Stage productions, however, escaped official censorship. The theater became a "public space"--a place to air cultural confrontations between Church and State, individual and community, and "freedom of the theatre" versus the audience's right to disagree.
