Friel is widely recognised as Ireland's leading playwright but through the ability of plays like 'Translations' and 'Dancing at Lughnasa' to translate intoother cultures he has also made a major impact on world theatre. This study draws on the Friel Archive in the National Library of Ireland to deepen our understanding of how his plays were developed. ANTHONY ROCHE is an Associate Professor and Head of Subject for Drama Studies in the School of English, Drama and Film at University College Dublin, Republic of Ireland. Recent publications include 'The Cambridge Companion to Brian Friel' (2006) and a revised and expanded second edition of his 'ContemporaryIrish Drama '(Palgrave Macmillan, 2009).
