Accolades for the Gigli Concert,
By
This review is from: Murphy Plays: 3: The Morning After Optimism; The Sanctuary Lamp; The Gigli Concert (Methuen World Classics) (v. 3) (Paperback)
I have not read this book but saw a performance of the Gigli Concert in Dublin in 1991 and subsequently read the transcript. The performance roused a very demanding cosmopolitan audience to a three-return standing ovation and, having seen performances at London's Theatre in the Round, New York's National, Berlin, and San Francisco's ACT, I can say authoritatively this play easily compares with the best in compelling power, emotional impact, and thematic relevance. It has been called "the best Irish stage play of the 20th Century" with significant validity. I say, read this play and get it performed again for it will shock and astound you.
