This study examines the intersection of modernism and theatre through the works and philosophies of six key modernist writers. Utilizing a wealth of archival material and fresh interpretations of overlooked documents, it reveals how these literary figures engaged with theatre through playwriting, philosophical debates, and performances. Chapters explore W.B. Yeats's early playwriting, Ezra Pound's acting, the dramatic sensibilities of James Joyce and D.H. Lawrence, T.S. Eliot's reflections on Dublin theatre, and Virginia Woolf's feminist theatrical experiments. Despite their critical views on drama, these writers were paradoxically drawn to large-scale theatrical productions. The book highlights how 'restricted production' provided a means for modernists to share their work with like-minded individuals, showcasing previously unknown events that allowed them to assert cultural value. It also delves into their interactions with popular drama and forgotten performances in which they participated. Moran reveals that the playhouse served as a crucial space for high-modernists to navigate a tension that deeply influenced their broader literary endeavors.
