Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
The Irish Renaissance in the early 20th century included a wealth of new plays written both in Ireland, and by Irish ex-patriots elsewhere. W. B. Yeats, Lady Augusta Gregory, and J. M. Synge were creating a new national theater of Ireland at the Abbey Theatre. They often drew their stories from the fabric of Irish life. Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw were meanwhile writing important (and often hilarious) works on the world stage

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.

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.

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.

-Shift- in Ireland now means pash, make out, get on with, kiss, etc, so would still probably draw some noise from the crowd for different reasons.

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.

It might be too late but I think the crash course opening theme song for Crash Course Theater should be revised to orchestra version

And the thought bubble wasn't about The Importance of Being Earnest? What a missed opportunity for an awesome thought bubble moment
