This essay considers the function that media and media devices play in contemporary Irish drama and performance since 1980. In recent realist or naturalist plays, by authors such as Brian Friel, Stacey Gregg, Conor McPherson, and Enda Walsh, media might appear in the text as symbols or plot devices, or in the dramaturgy as props or as design elements. A substantial amount of recent Irish theatre, such as that produced by ANU Productions, Pan Pan Theatre, or Dead Centre, has moved away from the traditional proscenium stage and toward site-specific and immersive theatre that deftly employs multimedia technologies to convey meaning. Amid all of the innovative multimodal varieties of performance and stage craft now on view, there remains in contemporary Irish theatre a powerful commitment to the value of the word and the live body in performance.
