The London Vertigo

Forbhreathnú

  • Drámadóir

    Brian Friel 

  • Nótaí Faoin Údar

    Based on Charles Macklin's original play 'The True Born Irishman' or 'The Irish Fine Lady'.

  • Suíomh

    The drawing-room in Murrough O'Doherty's Dublin home on an afternoon and evening in September 1761.

  • Achoimre

    The London Vertigo tells the story of Mrs O’Dogherty/Diggerty who is forced to reform her behaviour by dropping her newly acquired Anglophile habits and language use to transform into 'The Irish Fine Lady'. Her concomitant giving up of colonial mimicry and changing back to 'decent Dublin domesticity' unwittingly rewrites the original author’s own biography as comedy and farce.
