Teresa Deevy was born in Waterford in 1894 and her first staged play, ‘The Reapers’ debuted in the Abbey Theatre in 1930. Throughout that decade a number of her plays were produced by the Abbey but she fell out of favour with the national theatre by 1939. Since 2010 the off-Broadway Mint Theatre has been engaged in ‘The Teresa Deevy Project’, reviving her plays to critical acclaim and publishing collected editions of her work. In 2010 Mint Artistic Director Jonathan Bank travelled to Ireland to meet with members of her family and her papers were subsequently deposited with the Library in 2011. A new production of Deevy’s play Katie Roche, will run in the Abbey Theatre from 26 August to 23 September.  There will be a Teresa Deevy exhibition in the Library from 21st to 28th August to coincide with this production.

Not all of the material deposited with Maynooth University is available through the Digital Library http://www.maynoothdigitalcollections.ie/. Some extra material including theatre programmes and scholarly essays are available online at http://deevy.nuim.ie
