Descripción Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. This is the first biography of Denis Johnston, barrister, theatre director, film-maker, pioneering television producer, war correspondent, essayist and celebrated playwright. Johnston was of Ulster Presbyterian stock, born into Edwardian Dublin, where he was briefly held hostage in his family home at Lansdowne Road during the 1916 Rising. Son of a Supreme Court judge, he was schooled at St Andrews in Dublin, in Edinburgh and Christs College, Cambridge, and at Harvard University. He made the name of the Gate Theatre in 1929 with his astonishing first play The Old Lady Says No!, created the radio epic Lillibulero for the BBC in Belfast, and earned an OBE for his war reporting from North Africa, Yugoslavia and Buchenwald. In 1950 he decamped to New York and taught for many years at colleges in Massachusetts, founding the Poets Theatre in Boston. An Irishman of wide horizons and wit, and a prodigal dissenter, his multi-faceted life illuminates the cultural history of the past century. He was turbulently married to the actresses Shelah Richards and Betty Chancellor, and had four children, among them the novelist Jennifer Johnston. In this masterly biography, Adams draws upon Johnstons copious and intimate diaries, letters and uncompleted autobiography deposited in Trinity College, Dublin, cataloguing the untidy museum of his subjects past. The result is an enthralling narrative of the extraordinary secret life of a complex, self-doubting individual, which brings new light to bear on one of the twentieth centurys most original Irish writers. In this masterly biography, Adams draws upon Johnstons copious and intimate diaries, letters and uncompleted autobiography deposited in Trinity College, Dublin, cataloguing the untidy museum of his subjects past.
