Born in Ireland in 1934, Thomas Kilroy attended the University College of Dublin, where he received a degree in education that led to a teaching career. With the 1973 success of his novel The Big Chapel, Kilroy took a break from teaching and devoted time to writing for the stage. Although he returned to the university scene in 1979 with a professorship at the University of Galway, he remained active in the dramatic arts, becoming a member of the Royal Society for Literature and the Irish Academy of Letters. Today, he has a number of plays and adaptations to his credit including The ONeill, The Death and Resurrection of Mr. Roche, Tea and Sex and Shakespeare and an adaptation of Ibsens "Ghosts." This appraisal of the works of Thomas Kilroy focuses on the common themes and methodology of his plays, including an unusual alliance between serious theatrical complexity and varied but demanding forms of comedy. Interviews with stage directors and the playwright himself contribute to this in-depth analysis of Kilroys dramatic art. Photographs of staged plays and a list of premieres of Kilroys works (plays and adaptations) are also included.
