Irish Theatre
Ireland may be small, but it has made an impact on theatre thanks to playwrights like George Bernard Shaw and Oscar Wilde. Early Irish dramas leaned toward political commentary and served government purposes, but this changed as playwrights started meeting the needs of the people. Attending plays became a popular pastime in Ireland and audiences grew as new theatres emerged. However, with the 19th century, many writers were forced to relocate to London or America to establish careers due to the economic struggles in Ireland.
