Irish culture itself has been shaped over many hundreds of years‚ and history has seen itself repeated in many senses‚ in particular in the form of the many troubles in Ireland during both the 16th and 20th century. The play Translations‚ written by Brian Friel‚ not only establishes the Irish culture as that of one equal to the Ancient Roman and Greek civilisations‚ but is also a running commentary on not so much the decline of one culture‚ but the blossoming of another. Although the play is set in

Budge Wilson’s "The Charmer" is a remarkable tale of loss‚ morality‚ and love. It is the story of how a young girl comes to realize that her devilishly handsome brother is nothing more than a charmer. It is set in a 1950’s Halifax home where Zachary‚ the narrator’s brother‚ repeatedly abuses his privileges and takes advantage of his family. Zack seems to believe that his looks will help him escape any situation he may find himself in. He uses his sense of humour and charm to manipulate his family

Exile is one of the dominant themes permeating Brian Friel’s long career as a playwright. Philadelphia‚ Here I Come! was his first big international success. It was also the first to focus on the plight of characters torn by the need to abandon the place to which they feel deeply attached for the sake of their own growth and integrity. The exile in Philadelphia is twenty-five-year-old Gar O’Donnell. He lives in familiar Friel territory‚ the fictional Irish village of Ballybeg‚ in this instance

The character I chose to render a costume design for is Troy Maxson from the play Fences by August Wilson. Troy is the family’s main source of income and his character is a very strong willed and stubborn 53-year-old man. Troy relentlessly told his son‚ Cory‚ multiple times that his football recruitment was a waste of time and that he should get “…recruited in how to fix cars or something where he can make a living” (8; ch.1‚ sec.1). Therefore‚ from Troy’s actions‚ I knew that his costume should
