Description: "In the early twentieth century theatre was the great escape in Ireland, whether drama, pantomime, farce or musical. Here, playwright, author and critic Declan Hassett celebrates some of the great moments of theatre in Cork from the 1940s onwards. In conversation with him the stars themselves recall a golden age and bring to vivid life, from stage to page, many great moments and reflect on changing trends in theatre. With its photographs this evocative melange brings to life a period of rich creative energy."--Jacket.
