At twenty-one, Irish playwright Lennox Robertson's long association with Dublin's Abbey Theatre began in 1907 shortly after the production of his first play, "The Clancy Name". In intervals over the next fifty years he would serve as the theatre's manager, director and producer. Robertson had also worked as a secretary to playwright George Bernard Shaw, general manager of the Irish National Theatre Society, organizing librarian for the Carnegie Trust in Ireland and as a government official.
Robertson made several trips to America with the Abbey Theatre Irish Players performing such plays of his as "The Far-Off Hills", "Crabbed Youth and Age", "The Big House", "Is Life Worth Living" and "Drama at Inish". His play "Ever the Twain" was actually set in New York and was considered by many as a wonderful satirical interpretation of the American lifestyle.
While in America Robertson gave lecture courses on the history and origins of Irish poetry at the Carnegie Institute of Technology, Amherst College, the Universities of Montana, North Carolina, Michigan and Ohio State University,
Lennox Robertson is probably best remembered for his plays "The White-Headed Boy" and "The Lost Leader". At the time of his death he was working as co-editor of "The Oxford Book of Irish Verses".- Composer
