One of the things that I love about this series is that it makes you consider theatre from places that I never thought about before - that's what happened in the episode about Henrik Ibsen and Nordic drama and I am looking forward to learning about Irish drama.
The funny thing about all Irish writing from this period is that if today you walk around the streets of Dublin you may say the faces of all of these writers, and others such as Joyce and Beckkett, postered in every bar and statued on every street however when they were alive much of their work was banned. Many of our best writers (and our best in other arenas) didn't leave the country but fled it. They wrote about Ireland as it was then without any decoration. The Irish saw themselves clearly and turned away not liking what they saw. 'It's a symbol of Irish art. The cracked looking glass of a servant' - Steven Dedalus in Joyce's Ulysses
It's not that important but there is a small mistake at 1:57. The Abbey Theatre is still in the same location that it opened in 1904. There was a time from 1951 to 1966 were they had to move to a different building due to a fire until the theatre could be rebuilt.
The only difference between a caprice and a lifelong passion is that the caprice lasts a little longer.” Can you explain this one quote in detail. I know the gist just looking for a detailed one.

YESSSSSSSSSSS to the 'Irish culture deserves more than leprechaun jokes' intro! THANK YOU! Super tired of people (especially Americans in my experience) applauding our literature one minute and then being racist the next.
I really hope you talk about Eugene Ionesco and Samuel Becket with absurdism And Susan glaspell and Sophie Treadwell who are American women expressionist playwrights who have gone mostly limited their performance though their writings inspired many male writers
@@user-sl8gg2zk3g yeah, Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde doesn't sound Irish at all. By the way, every one in Europe (and most of the world) is of mixed heritage, so I don't see what names have to do with it. By your logic, Irish isn't your culture, as you claim, since you don't have a traditional Irish name, not that it matters.
I tried to find the actual source of the Shaw quote at the end of the video, but was unable to do so. A couple of essays and papers quote it, but none of them state where they originally got it from. Only that it's supposed to be a quote by Shaw. I would love to include this quote into a thesis of mine that I'm writing about fin de siècle drama, but without an actual source, this is somewhat difficult unfortunately. Do you happen to remember where you came across the quote?
*Essie* When an American says, “I’m Irish,” they’re more or less saying they’re of Irish descent. They’re not saying they’re just as Irish as Irish people who were born an raised in Ireland. I’m German. ;)
Keith Gaughan well this video focus on yeats, sygne, wilde, its the anglo irish revival while the irish language revival is the gaelic revival this is history in irish schools
@@mikeoxsmal8022, they themselves might've been of Anglo-Irish decent, but you can't really separate them out from the Gaelic Revival itself, which involved Irish people of all backgrounds, regardless of their ancestry. I don't believe any of them did. They were part of the same milieu as the Young Irelanders, Seán O'Casey, Arthur Griffith, Joseph Plunkett, &c., and we're pointedly participating in a revival of Gaelic culture, albeit though the medium of the English language, but a uniquely Irish form of that language.
@@mikeoxsmal8022, also I'd like to point out that I am actually Irish, went though that same education system, and never once recall hearing it referred to as the 'Anglo-Irish Revival'. I recall it being called the 'Celtic Twilight', the 'Irish Literary Revival', and a few other things, but never qualified with 'anglo-'.
Was it gaelic revival ? I'd like to think the real Irish would have something to say about that. Our whole culture spearheaded by Protestants with English names. Our culture is Gaelic written in Irish by the Irish. This is why I maintain the Irish cannot write plays or poetry only the English can do it well enough. But we can write and play music, and tell stories better than anyone, and that to me is true Irish art, not the works of Yeats Wilde or shaw.

Well if the sea don't want them, what value do they have?
Is this a reference to Riders to the Sea?
Thanks for avoiding all the annoying cliched jokes. Its nice to have our culture (our real culture) recognised! Thank you!
This is not our real culture, these writers are all English heritage writers, and in my opinion English not Irish.
@@user-sl8gg2zk3g All Irish born and raised and considered themselves Irishmen (and women). I bet you're British. Shoo, now.
He did call Irish Gaelic though
Who else watches these on their own and not just in class?
Thanks Mike, you brought a tear to my Irish eye. Thank you also to CrashCourse

I've been to the Abbey Theatre - the newer location. It's grand.
I was actually there for the 100th anniversary of Playboy of the Western World, which was a treat.

one of Oscar wilds quotes the one featured is vary similar to a quote from Hagakure. the quote from Hagakure was also featured in the film Ghost Dog.
I ❤ Wilde

It might be too late but I think the crash course opening theme song for Crash Course Theater should be revised to orchestra version
There really is excellent whiskey and knitwear out there.
Once again, An Ideal Husband is snubbed.
Mike?
And Saint Joan.
COYBIG!!!
Also just realised that to "crack on" with something is not a common saying
You left out Sean O’Casey.
Sean o casey is actually Irish, the rest are all English ex pats. That is why they are so good and o Caseys plays are not mentioned
@@user-sl8gg2zk3g They are Anglo Irish whose families had lived in Ireland for centuries.

This series has been great so far but scones are not muffins!
I'm pretty sure those are English muffins, which while not *actual* muffins, are at least still called muffins.
I can't abide things pretending to be other things in a video about theater.
