Sheils, George

    0.04 sec.

Sheils, George (c. 1881-1949)

Irish playwright whose realistic dramas often satirize the role of greed and financial despair in political and familial decisions. Born in Ballymoney, County Antrim, Sheils emigrated to Canada but returned to Ireland after being crippled in a railway accident. Closely associated with the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, in the 1930s and 1940s, he is best known for The Passing Day (1936), a play which showcases his themes and sardonic wit.
