• W2201921212 abstract "A. Introduction: Chekhov in Context Anton Chekhov, whose career was partially inspired by Henrik Ibsen, exerted influence many European playwrights, a number of whom were Irish, by producing problem in style of unflinching, analytical realism (Leerssen 47). Specifically, Chekhov's Uncle Vanya and Three Sisters were adapted respectively by Frank McGuinness in 1980 and by Brian Friel in 1981 for newly-founded Field Day Theatre Company, in order to bring quality drama to people of rural (Richtarik 196). (1) Thomas Kilroy, also a Field Day playwright, adapted Chekhov's The in 1981, not only transporting action to the wilds of Galway but employing a peculiar language familiar to audience so that they would not be lost in [the] polite vagueness of existing English translations (Kilroy, Seagull 80). Tom Murphy, having emigrated to London with his blue-collar family in 1962 and worked on buses or buildings or in pubs, gained first-hand knowledge of emigrants who were struggling in Irish ghettos where dwellers, in his own words, carry a most curious guilt that they were very much inferior to people they had left behind (Billington 96). These people, however, felt alienated or even distrusted when they returned home, which still breathed, to some extent, a xenophobic air with its religious and political sentiments. Witnessing an extraordinary cult of in these socially marginalized communities (Billington 96), Murphy has approached this ignored subject since his early plays. (2) This essay aims to examine Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard and Murphy's The House which, through a recurring theme of searching for home, reflect not only identity crisis but a fractured sense of belonging that people of Emerald Isle bear under impact of immigration and rapid globalization. It will consider whether forced and voluntary migrations in two plays can disjoin social forces that tend to stereotype or marginalize protagonists, whose alternative outlooks human existence in a de-territorialized world attract our interest in era of globalization. It will also demonstrate how social denial of formerly privileged underlines their sense of being uprooted, or rootless, and defies traditional centers of power. Their roving experiences may suggest, one hand, how Chekhov reconsiders serious nature of comedy; and other hand, how Murphy subverts traditional attachment to home(land) and initiates a search for self and for a type of transcultural Irishness. B. Murphy as Chekhov and Chekhovian Comicality What may have prompted playwrights to produce Chekhov were shared scenarios of social upheavals that broke out in both Ireland and Russia at turn of twentieth century. That is, Anglo-Irish Ascendency and Russian aristocracy were both about to collapse, and middle classes were coming into major political and economic advantages from old authorities. The rapid social changes, however, seemed to leave most citizens paralyzed in face of prevalent violence used against politically and economically privileged. These minorities were now nearly incapacitated politically, were vulnerable, and not all were able to seek shelter elsewhere. The mental parlaysis concerning political and social violence mirrors almost numb conscience that many modern writers aimed to penetrate. (3) The recurring theme of home in Murphy's works corresponds, interestingly, to that in Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard, where conditions that presaged Russian Revolution offered everyone a chance to be relocated to a new place or position, although not necessarily a secure one. It can be noted that Ireland, as a globalized state in progress at present time, may share some social features with Russia during its revolutionary era, in sense that divides between social classes were greatly reshuffled in Russia and ethnic landscape is currently being fundamentally revised with arrival of non-white newcomers. …" @default.
