A comprehensive guide to the Irish theatre landscape, by Trinity academics, has just been launched. The first Oxford Handbook of Modern Irish Theatre, co-edited by Seamus Heaney Professor of Irish Writing Chris Morash and Emeritus Professor of English Nicholas Grene, features 41 contributions from specialist scholars in the field of Irish theatre, several of whom are from Trinity.

Following the launch event, which was held in the Abbey Theatre and officiated by Irish Times Literary Editor Fintan O’Toole, both Professor Morash and Professor Grene were invited to present their work to President Michael D Higgins at Áras an Uachtaráin.
