Religion and politics form a substantial basis of the works of most of the Irish drama composers. During the 1846 famine, there was a high renaissance of the Catholic Church (Sternlicht, 2010). The clergy benefited from the financial gains at the expense of the Irish peasant. While the lower class natives struggled to survive, the church led by the clergies took a political stand at the expense of the spiritual one. The political position was taken by the church to safeguard their status and the wealth of the church. Yeats is recognized as one of the people who influenced the Irish Drama as it is seen today.

One of the styles that Yeats and succeeding writers use is the absence of priests from their Drama. The Irish priests are replaced with new priests-the artists (Sternlicht, 2010). The artists are…
