Ernest MacIntyre

Ernest MacIntyre

Ernest MacIntyre (1935 - ) is a Sri Lankan playwright of the English language.

Career

During the 1960s, MacIntyre was hailed as the most prolific and successful of Sri Lankan playwrights in English. He formed a performing group, 'Stage and Set', which presented established international plays as well as those written by him.

Plays

His plays were usually performed at the Lionel Wendt theatre in Colombo. During this time there was cross-pollination between the English and Sinhala theatres, primarily due to MacIntyre. Plays written by MacIntyre include:

* "Let's Give Them Curry", An Australian-Asian Comedy in 3 Acts (1981)
* "Rasanayagam's Last Riot" (1990)

Emigration

MacIntyre's emigration in the 1970s brought a lull in creativity in the English theatre in Sri Lanka.
