Yeats, Lady Gregory, John Millington Synge, George Moore, and Sean O’Casey, Irish playwrights have a tradition of excellence that is still with us today. Writers such as Samuel Beckett, Brendan Behan, Denis Johnston, Thomas Kilroy, Tom Murphy, Hugh Leonard, Frank McGuinness,and John B. Keane have all made their mark on the world stage.
