De Valera Could Banish Two Abbey Plays from U S Tour
Dublin reports indicate Eamon de Valera may block two Abbey Theatre plays on the planned United States tour. The Playboy of the Western World and The Plough and the Stars face government opposition due to controversies and the 1916 Dublin uprising theme. The plays were to be promoted under government subsidy terms once as a courtesy to the Irish Free State. De Valera has pressed the issue after a tense meeting with Abbey directorate spokesman W B Yeats.
