T. C. Murray, Dramatist
Voice of the Irish Peasant
Albert J. DeGiacomo
Drawing on the archives of libraries in Dublin, New York City, and Boston,
Albert J. DeGiacomo assesses T. C. Murray's contribution to the Irish dramatic
movement. One of "the Cork realists" of the Abbey Theatre, Murray wrote seventeen
plays in one, two, or three acts. A prominent National Teacher and a seemingly
apolitical playwright in the Irish Literary Revival, Murray expressed nationalistic
aspirations in his peasant tragedies. His characters' drive for self-determination
and their religious consciousness mark Murray's dramatic landscape.
