Abstract

This chapter surveys contemporary Irish plays set in urban and suburban Dublin during the Celtic Tiger and Post-Celtic Tiger periods. It analyses how a broad range of Irish dramatists have mapped the profound changes that this new economic paradigm brought about, and explores, in particular, representations of class and of inter-class relationships in contemporary Irish theatre. It also posits that the formation of identities through the interface of the material, personal and sexual relationships is a recurrent theme of Irish suburban writing.
