Join us at the James Joyce Centre where our lifelong learning instructor, Dr. Caroline Elbay<\/strong>, presents Ireland on Stage and Screen<\/strong>, an online film and theatre course this winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting on Wednesday, 7 January 2026<\/strong>, this six-week course investigates and challenges iconic representations of modern Ireland on both stage and screen. As a nation and a people oft represented as permanently oscillating between the poles of \u2018Paddy Sad\/Paddy Mad\u2019 (Lady Morgan) in both musical and theatrical representation, this course invites participants to engage, experience, analyse, and discuss the multifaceted themes and issues (including, but not limited to, identity, language, war\/conflict, the revolutionary period, sexuality, religion, the supernatural, friendship, family, music, and marginalisation) addressed by authors, directors, playwrights and screenwriters ranging from Brian Friel, Sean O\u2019Casey, John B. Keane, and Marina Carr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to a wide variety of theatre masterworks, the course will also include and consider representations of Ireland and the Irish contained in Martin McDonagh\u2019s award-winning film The Banshees of Inisherin<\/em>, together with Enda Walsh\u2019s masterful adaptation of Claire Keegan\u2019s novel Small Things Like These<\/em>. Guest speaker(s) from the world of Irish film\/theatre will provide practical insights into the art and craft of drama and film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
