Reviews

'In a word, The Golden Thread: Irish Women Playwrights, 1716-2016... is superb. This two-volume collection showcases writers familiar and less familiar, offers valuable context and incisive textual readings, attends to performance as well as stagecraft, and ranges among historical periods and critical approaches.' Prof. Paige Reynolds, English Studies
