Brian Friel plays communicate not only through words but also through the non-verbal use of space ― both the geographical places in which plays are set and the ways stage space is used.

In geographical respect, Ballybeg is emblematic of Ireland and a part of Ireland rather than any one specific village in that area.

Abstract
Brian Friel plays communicate not only through words but also through the non-verbal use of space ― both the geographical places in which plays are set and the ways stage space is used. The circumstance of place is always a highly pertinent consideration in any discussion of Irish literature. I try to establish the relevance of a apposite attention to the question of place in Friel plays and propose to see it as an attempt to reveal awareness of place and divided self. The discussion of the paper centers on ‘the problem of space.’Through this attempt, I examine Friel's treatment of place as the theatrical dramaturgy in his plays in terms of the geographical space partition and the stage space and asserts that his ‘awareness of place’ reveals the cognitive mapping of Ireland's ‘divided self’. In geographical respect, Ballybeg is emblematic of Ireland and a part of Ireland rather than any one specific village in that area. In this respect Ballybeg represents an effort, at the wider application of a place, towards some kind of local universality. In dramaturgy, the experimental stage spaces are employed to deconstruct the reality 영어권문화연구 5권 2호252Friel has created within the world of Ballybeg as well as its external reality. I draw the conclusion that his attempts to map the pain of de-mythologizing both personal and public identities, facing up to lost fantasies to the individual and the nation. A focus on space particularly connected to theatrical dramaturgy(aesthetics) offers fresh interpretations of the texts and, far from narrowing the significance of Friel's work, opens it up to some of the major intellectual issues of present Ireland.
