Description
Playbill of the Irish Theatre in Harwicke Street (April 1915) for: Pagans by Thomas MacDonagh; The Walls of Athens by Eimar O’Duffy.
Both plays were produced for the first time in 1915. Pagans will only be published in book form in 1920, whereas Eimar O’Duffy’s The Walls of Athens appeared in The Irish Review in June 1914 and was published in book form in 1915 “on sale at the Irish Theatre” for the price of one shilling net. The setting of Pagans, a drawing room in the Dublin house of Mrs Fitzmaurice is in the Ibsenite style favoured by the Irish Theatre founders, whereas the historic setting of The Walls of Athens required the scenic effects of Jack Morrow (an Irish painter who contributed several plates for the Irish Review) and the costumes of the Dun Emer Guild.
