| description | This article examines how Michael West’s 2000 play Foley explores not only the eponymous character’s wandering identity but also the vagaries and traps of storytelling. Foley tramps the Irish landscape and his own mindscape. In this, he is reminiscent of the tramps, tinkers, and strangers staged by the Irish Revival in the early 20th century and of many of Samuel Beckett’s characters. West’s Foley also exposes the layers of memory composing his conflicting identity and plays with metatheatricality by exposing the artificial horizon of his own story. |
