Critical Moments: Fintan O'Toole on Modern Irish Theatre

by Julia Furay (Editor)

This new book on the work of Fintan O'Toole, the internationally acclaimed theatre critic and cultural commentator, will offer percussive analyses and assessments of the major plays and playwrights in the canon of modern Irish theatre. Fearless and provocative in his judgements, O'Toole is essential reading for anyone interested in criticism or in the current state of Irish theatre.
The format of this book is unusual in that it provides the reviews themselves, the editors' assessments of these reviews and of O'oole's critical practice, an in-depth interview with O'oole and a controversial afterword by him.

I really like Fintan O'Toole. He is my kind of critic: in it to appreciate, and wonder, and be amazed; and then tell others why.
