The company, which “Mac” formed in 1925, had played throughout the world, but in the years of Pinter’s tenure, it traveled to the large and small cities of Ireland, performing Shakespeare and other classic and contemporary works. As one reporter put it, farmers left their fields and shopkeepers closed their stores in order to touch spirit with Oedipus, Macbeth, Hamlet, and Lear.
