Dear List,
Next Monday 30 April the Irish Literary Society is welcoming Micheál Ó Conghaile for the ILS / ITS Noel O’Connell Annual Memorial Lecture. Ó Conghaile will discuss his Irish language translations of the London-Irish playwright Martin McDonagh and the Irish language literary scene today. Ó Conghaile’s translations of McDonagh’s work – The Beauty Queen of Leenane (Banríon Álainn an Líonáin), The Cripple of Inishmaan (Cripil Inis Meáin), and The Lonesome West (Ualach an Uaignis) – have received acclaimed productions by the Galway International Arts Festival.
