Collected Plays cover

Although Dermot Healy (1947-2014) is probably best known as a novelist and poet, he was also a prolific playwright, screenwriter, and actor. Healy’s interest in drama was long-standing, and was central to his development as a writer. Between 1985 and 2010 he wrote thirteen stage plays, all of which are gathered here for the first time. Although the settings of Healy’s plays are often local and regional by design, their energy and vision transcend those boundaries. In this respect, the publication of TheCollected Plays will be of interest to all scholars and practitioners of contemporary drama.

Healy’s work continually extended the technical range of fiction and drama, and he repeatedly explored questions of knowing and being in a lyrical, earthy and deeply contemplative fashion.
