Penile Dementia: Feb 13, 2006; I Left My Heart in Stamford Bridge

I despair at the state of Irish theatre. I'm not sure if this is a uniquely Irish phenomenon or not but we seem to be stuck in a rut with what plays we bring to the theatre and how we present them. The main theatres in Ireland stick to the same tried and tested plays, mainly from Sean O Casey, and always, ALWAYS perform them the same way. Period dress, stock mannerisms, you know the drill. Any minor changes a director might make results in a backlash so strong you might think they had replaced, say, Willy Loman, with Bozo the Clown in a production of Death of a Salesman.
