- W2890890138 abstract "Frank McGuinness has declared that acting in a student production of Richard II at University College Dublin in 1976 influenced all of the work he subsequently composed. He has engaged continuously and profoundly with Shakespeare’s dramas throughout his career as playwright and academic. However, he fights shy of seeing him as an icon or as a convenient intertext who supplies all too recognizable allusions. Instead, McGuinness absorbs, reconfigures and deconstructs aspects of Shakespearean dramaturgy in his plays. Aspects of the architectonics of Shakespeare’s works, such as the soliloquy, the play within a play, the interlude centring on a subaltern group, the motif of absent presence, the conjuring up of ghosts and occult powers, starkly contrasting scene shifts, an emphasis on the metatheatrical and a meditation on different types of historical causality, may be discerned in Observe the Sons of Ulster Marching Towards the Somme (1985), Carthaginians (1988), Mutabilitie (1997) and The Hanging Gardens (2013). In Mutabilitie, McGuinness pointedly retools Shakespeare’s biography by inventing an interlude in which the writer washes up in North Munster, where he engages in debates about the purpose of art with Edmund Spenser and the native Irish, including File and her consort Hugh who are preparing an insurrection to overthrow English occupation of their country. However, ultimately, McGuinness renders Shakespeare as an elusive figure who cannot easily be co-opted and slips through the gaps of the counter-factual action of this work set in an Ireland that is still violently embattled. McGuinness’s engagement with Shakespeare is predicated hence on intimacy and distance: he is at once a close interlocutor who inspires his work and a precursor whose legacy must be self-consciously re-appropriated in an Irish context. Above all, for McGuinness tapping into and remoulding Shakespearean dramaturgical practices allows an alignment of his own singular dramatic imaginings with the uncanny and unsettling spaces of early modern theatre." @default.
