In terms of Irish theatre, Brian Friel is perhaps the most internationally acclaimed playwright of his generation. It is appropriate then that in his 80th year this issue of Irish Theatre International focuses specifically on Friel’s dramatic canon. The articles in this issue reflect the range and calibre of Friel’s work, covering his earliest plays from The Blind Mice (1963), through to his magnum opus Translations (1980) and up to his most recent work to date.
