"Chris Morash and Nicholas Grene have made an immeasurable contribution to academic writing on theatre in general and contemporary Irish theatre in particular. They have produced many of the core text books on the subject, including The Oxford Handbook of Modern Irish Theatre." --Nomination for the Judges' Special Award, in the Irish Times' Irish Theatre Awards (2018)

"It is an essential work for academics, students and members of the theatrical professionâ Thinking outside the box and representing a wider European influence on Irish dramaâ Every chapter has extensive footnotes with references to books, journals, newspapers and online source material. The indexers have done an excellent job with their comprehensive index." Mary Casteleyn, Vice President, Irish Genealogical Research Society

"The Oxford Handbook of Modern Irish Theatre ... reads engagingly when consumed straight through. ... readers who make their way through it will find themselves well-oriented as to the outlines of and debates surrounding Irish dramatic production and consumption of the past 125 years. Indeed, with its critical depth and range, generous collection of photographs, useful chronology, and exhaustive bibliography of more than 700 source texts on Irish theatre, this volume is required reading for anyone with a serious interest in the subject." --Brian W. Shaffer, English Literature in Transition 1880-1920

"The book as a whole is a wonderful achievement. It is always readable and jargon-free, illustrated with photographs, designs and posters that are often fresh to the eye and edited with a judicious balance between overall coherence and individual style ... It is a tribute to modern Irish threatre." --Fintan O'Toole, Irish Times

"This 764-page compilation covers an enormous amount of theatrical territory, from Yeats's enchanted ground to the infiltrated ground of Brian Friel's Translations, and beyond; and with its range of contributors it achieves density and an authoritative overtone." --Patricia Craig, Times Literary Supplement
