MICHEAL MAC LIAMMOIR

  (1899 - 1978)
Nationality:    Irish
email:    n/a     Website:    n/a

Literary Agent:    n/a

actor, designer, director born Cork 25 October 1899. When he died in 1978, Ireland mourned the passing of the most versatile man of the Theatre she has ever known. His acting career started early as a child actor in London, but when he was fourteen he read a single passage of Yeats extolling Ireland's heritage and from then on he was to give himself to the Dublin stage, notably the Gate Theatre which he founded with his partner, Hilton Edwards.
