}}Ernest Thalayasingam MacIntyre, (a.k.a. Macintyre, Ernest Thalayasingam),[2] (born 26 September 1934) is a Sri Lankan playwright of the English language, who has been active in the Sri Lankan English theatre for the last 50 years.[3]

Early years

MacIntyre was born in Sri Lanka on the 26 September 1934.[4]

Career

MacIntyre attended Peradeniya University where he was a Dramsoc member.[1] During the 1960s, MacIntyre was hailed as the most prolific and successful of Sri Lankan playwrights in English.

He was a member of the performing group 'Stage and Set', which presented established international plays as well as those written by him.[4][5]

MacIntyre is known for his absurd style, although Rasanayagam's Last Riot is written in a realistic mode.[6] His plays were usually performed at the Lionel Wendt theatre in Colombo. During this time there was cross-pollination between the English and Sinhala theatres, primarily due to MacIntyre.{{Citation needed|date=October 2010}}

MacIntyre served in the Sri Lankan Air Force from 1961 to 1967, acted as the Director of the drama school at Aquinas University College in 1968 and 1969. From 1969 to 1973, he worked as UNESCO project officer.[1][4]

In 2005, MacIntyre revived E.F.C. Ludowyk's He Comes from Jaffna in a production in Sydney, Australia, updating the script to reflect changes in social values.[3] His version of this play, together with the scripts of Rasanayagam's Last Riot and He Still Comes From Jaffna, was published in the anthology Jaffna and Colombo.[3]

In 2009 Macintyre wrote "Antigone in Sri Lanka as IRANGANI" A tragedy of our times derived from the ancient play of Sophoclese.[7] It was performed in 2010 at the Belconnen Theatre in Canberra and the Riverside Theatre, Sydney.[8] It was translated into Tamil in 2011.

In 2009 a Ph.D.Thesis on "Diasporic Longing And The Changing Contours of Resistance in The Plays of Ernest Thalayasingham Macintyre" was successfully submitted to The University of Madras by T. Sumathy.

Emigration

MacIntyre's emigration in 1973 brought a lull in creativity in the English theatre in Sri Lanka.{{Citation needed|date=October 2010}}
