The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- As a key figure of the Irish Literary Revival and credited with reviving Irish literature during the early 20th century, he is widely regarded by scholars to be among the most prolific playwrights of the Edwardian era.
- Several of his plays continue to be performed at the Abbey Theatre in Dublin.
- His play The Playboy of the Western World, one of his best-known works, was initially poorly received, due to its bleak ending, crude depiction of poor Irish peasants, and the idealisation of patricide, leading to hostile audience reactions and street riots in Dublin during its opening run at the Abbey Theatre, which he had co-founded with William Butler Yeats and Lady Gregory.
