Nice work here Charles – with plenty to build on when it comes to redrafting this article.

I agree that the lead section could do with being brought into line with Wikipedia guidelines.

The staging list is certainly far from complete – this is a play that has been staged hundreds of times all over the world, and an inclusion of some notable productions would help to give a sense of this.

I really like your idea of offering a section like the interpretative section for Waiting for Godot. There is a vast scholarly literature on this play, and gesturing to some of the major interpretative strands would certainly give a sense of the play’s cultural impact and its importance to Irish theatre history. I’m going to ask Shalor to weigh in here – particularly on the best way to offer an informative lit review without falling into an un-objective interpretative tone.

I agree that the refs that have been included are in the main okay, but what strikes me as a theatre scholar is that many of the most well-recognised and influential voices on Friel’s work are absent here, while the scholarly papers that are chosen are somewhat, well, random. (The exception is Marilynn Richtarik, who is a major voice in the field.)

I agree that the tone is generally balanced. Nice work on the citation issues.
