Theatre Review: Katie Roche - Abbey Theatre

Teresa Deevy may be about to lose her ‘neglected playwright’ mantle.

While her work fell out of favour at the Abbey Theatre after her 1930s heyday, she has enjoyed critical acclaim in New York, thanks to a cycle of her work by the Mint Theatre company between 2010 and 2013.

Also, a mid-1990s version of the current revival, Katie Roche, gave the great Derbhle Crotty an early outing at the Abbey.
