'The excellent essays in this collection add significantly to our knowledge of the Gate Theatre and its social and cultural practices and their contexts.' Professor Jose Lanters, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee 'This rich stimulating collection revisions the work of Dublin's Gate Theatre and celebrates how it posed radical challenges to Irish society's social and cultural sore points and no-go-areas. Through a dazzling diversity of case studies in production, performance and theatrical practices the essays argue convincingly for the role of the Gate in confronting audiences with images and impacts that countered attitudes and assumptions about sexuality, gender, class divisions, racialization and Irish (including language) identity. While the Gate's acknowledged theatrical aesthetics are not neglected, the book stresses the Gate Theatre's achievement in juggling localism and cosmopolitanism with invigorating and engaging tension.' Dr Cathy Leeney, University College Dublin
