Sullied Magnificence: The Theatre of Mark O'Rowe is a collection of
essays that combines the voices of Mark O'Rowe's collaborators and
critics with analysis by leading academics. It examines the role of the
actor and director in monologue theatre. It questions the use of
violence in O'Rowe's films and plays. It explores influences and
inspirations, and provides a thorough introduction to the work of one of
Ireland's most unique theatrical voices. It also takes a brief look at
O'Rowe's work for film, as both writer and director, and the crossover
effect this work has had on his plays.
