has gloss | eng: The Radio Éireann Players (RÉP) were a repertory company for radio formed in 1947 which performed in the Radio Éireann stations regular drama productions. After the depredations of the war-time years and the devastating fire in the Abbey Theatre in 1951, the Radio Éireann Players powerful weekly performances inspired interest in drama throughout the country. Their effect has been compared to an effort at national re-invention, in the same way that the national theatre fifty years earlier had been an attempt to redefine Irish identity. |
