Queer Notions cover

This collection is a record of some of the most important performative ideas and embodied interventions that have shaped queer culture and theatre and performance practice in Ireland in recent times, principally in the years following the decriminalization of homosexuality in 1993, up to and including the present. The anthology includes plays, experimental performance documentation, and a visual essay that reveal the impassioned creativity that illuminates and invigorates the margins of culture.

'This is a very exciting collection which will make a vital contribution to literature on Irish theatre and drama studies. It will also greatly help in documenting the rich, challenging and vibrant nature of LGBTQ culture in Ireland. Perhaps most importantly, it should provoke and entertain a wide audience.' Ivana Bacik, Senator and Reid Professor of Law, Trinity College, Dublin.
