The
London Vertigo is Brian Friel's adaptation of a play by Charles Macklin
(1690?-1797), the Donegal-born author whose plays Love à la
Mode and The Man of the World enjoyed abundant success in London
and Dublin.
In his introduction Brian Friel considers 'a geography of humour' and the play, a satirical, amusing look at Irish Anglophiles, suggests the delusion of the characters' self-metamorphosis and echoes some of Friel's own abiding interests. The London Vertigo represents an act of warmhearted companionship between neighbouring playwrights. |
