Molloy, M J

    0.01 sec.

Molloy, M(ichael) J(oseph) (1917–1994)

Irish folk-dramatist. Born in Milltown, County Galway, Molloy was greatly influenced by the work of J M Synge, a leading figure of the early 20th-century Gaelic revival. His drama is essentially folk theatre that sympathetically portrays the poverty of rural life and the ever-threatened culture of traditional Ireland. His first play, Old Road (1943), was produced at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, and his best-known work is the love story of Bartley Dowd in The King of Friday's Men (1948).

Molloy originally trained for the priesthood at St Columba's College, Londonderry, but left due to ill health.
