Polly MacIntyre recently created the role of Tricia in the world premier of Concrete Dinosaur at Plays and Players. She has worked with many area companies including Philadelphia Theatre Workshop, the Idiopathic Ridiculosity Consortium, The Irish Repertory Theatre of Philadelphia, Action Arts, The Stagecrafters, Allens Lane, and The Triangle Theater. Her solo show, She Moved Through the Fair, premiered in NYC in 2006, and was also seen at the 2009 Capital Fringe Festival in Washington, DC, where it received positive notice from the press. According to Tim Treanor of DC Theatre Scene, “The stories are carved and scoured with language like a cascade of diamonds. It is not simply MacIntyre’s brogue which identifies the pieces as Irish. They radiate the sort of liquid cynicism which has marked the Irish literary voice from Swift through Frank McCourt. The protagonist tells her story from the point of view of love, and the opportunity for love, long past. This could be depressing, but MacIntyre makes it sound rueful, wistful, and, with surprising frequency, funny. That’s in large part because she excerpts her content from the writing of the fine, if underappreciated, Irish writer Edna O’Brien. I do not know what O’Brien would sound like reading her stories, but if she doesn’t sound like MacIntyre, I bet she wishes she did.”
