Biographical History
Brain Friel, playwright.
Brian Friel was born Bernard Patrick Friel on January 9 or 10, 1929, in Omagh, County Tyrone, in northern Ireland. His family moved to Derry in 1939, where Friel attended the Long Tower School and, later, St. Columb's College. He then went to the National Seminary at St. Patrick's College in Maynooth before leaving in 1949 to attend a post-graduate teaching course at St. Joseph's Teacher Training College in Belfast. Friel began teaching in Derry in 1950 and retired ten years later to begin writing full-time. While he began his writing career with composing short stories, Friel is best-known as a dramatist; he is often referred to as Ireland's greatest living playwright. Among his most well-known plays are PHILADELPHIA, HERE I COME! (1964), TRANSLATIONS (1980), and DANCING AT LUGHNASA (1991). Importantly, Friel also co-founded the Field Day Theatre Company with Stephen Rea in 1980.
