These locations are also essential in understanding the range and reach of Friel's theatrical concerns and his projected audience. From his first major success on the stage, "Philadelphia Here I Come!" in 1964 to his most recent play, "The Home Place in 2005", Friel has revived and revised the Irish tradition of verbal theatre.
