- W2940371023 abstract "The stage Irishman has been a stock character in England and Ireland since the 17th century. It is anexaggerated and caricatured portrayal of Irish people. The origins of the stage Irishman can befound in Shakespeare's play Henry V. The Irish captain from the play, named MacMorris, is one ofthe most important and influential stage Irishmen. This paper explores the change of the stock characterfrom the 18th century to the early 20th century. The Anglo-Irish relations, which serve as thecontext for the plays, are also investigated through the dynamics of the English and Irish characters.Thomas Sheridan and Richard Brinsley Sheridan tried to entertain the English audience with theirplays The Brave Irishman and The Rivals using the character of the Stage Irishman. However, theperformance of these characters made the English sympathise with the Irish. These two seeminglytypical plays of the 18th century actually contain some elements of the subverted stage Irishmanwhich is later explored in Shaw's John Bull's Other Island. Unlike the Sheridans, Shaw and Boucicaultwrote their plays for the Irish audience. The Shaughraun by Dion Boucicault was a huge successin Ireland and in the USA. Ireland was represented as a beautiful country with good and honestpeople. Shaw and Boucicault introduced the character of the stage Englishman and additionally exploredthe dynamics of the Anglo-Irish relations.In the early 20th century the Abbey Theatre was established in Dublin and it served as aplatform for the Irish authors to experiment and form a new national identity without compromisingtheir artistic freedom. The most controversial piece of the theatre was Synge's play The Playboy ofthe Western World which provoked the Irish audience to display their outrage over Synge's portrayalof Irish rural life and values. Synge described his depiction of the Irish as extravagant and real.However, the Irish audience experienced it as a very offensive piece which was harmful to the Irishimage they had been trying to ameliorate. The paper ends with a one-act play The Rising of the Moon in which the author Lady Gregory reflects the struggle of the Irish for the political independenceand explores Ireland as a divided nation on the matter of British Rule." @default.
