Between languages. On bilingual issues in modern British and Irish drama

Between languages. On bilingual issues in modern British and Irish drama

Tomasz Wiśniewski (University of Gdansk)

The full version of this article is available  in Polish  in the printed version of Tekstualia and in the on-line subscription.

The article concentrates on tensions between centres and peripheries in modern British and Irish drama. The research material encompases plays by GB Shaw, WB Yeats, JM Synge, Peter Shaffer and works by immigrant contemporary playwrights (e.g. H. Khalil, H. Abdulrazzak, and T. Štivičic), whose work introduces new perspectives to British stage. Among the topics that are scrutinised, the following seem important: London-based model of theatre as opposed to the models emerging from other cultural centres; British and Irish theatre traditions and their interrelations with artistic innovations arriving from the continent; literary and theatre conventions; relations between playwrights, directors, actors, and other theatre makers. The overall argument is presented from the perspective based on Tartu-Moscow School of Semiotics.
