Download or read book Selected Plays of Dion Boucicault written by Dion Boucicault and published by CUA Press. This book was released on 1987 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The selection of Boucicault's work in this volume stresses his consummate craft as a writer for the theatre in the age of actor-managers and melodrama. It also reminds us of that Irish verve, charm and adroitness which made him the best playwright of his generation in England and America as well as Ireland. Arguably the father of both the Irish and American drama, his characteristic plotting and taste for sensation suggest that another of his heirs was the early movie industry.
