Brian Friel, irský dramatik a režisér, proslul svými díly zkoumajícími irskou identitu a historii. Jeho hry vynikají poetickým jazykem, komplexními postavami a hlubokým zamyšlením nad pamětí a ztrátou. Frielův přístup k psaní se vyznačuje jemným pozorováním lidské povahy a neochvějným zájmem o to, jak minulost formuje přítomnost. Jeho inovativní dramatická tvorba zanechala nesmazatelnou stopu v moderním divadle.
