                                 Friel is widely recognised as Irelands leading playwright but through the ability of plays likeTranslations and Dancing at Lughnasa to translate into other cultures he has also made a major impact on world theatre. This study draws on the Friel Archive in the National Library of Ireland to deepen our understanding of how his plays were developed.
