Michael Joseph Molloy (3 March 1914[1] â€" 1994) was an Irish

playwright. He was born and died in Milltown, County Galway.Molloy

originally intended to become a priest, but contracted tuberculosis as

a young man. He began writing during his long hospital stays in the

1930s.His first play, Old Road, was produced at the Abbey Theatre in

1943. His plays were popular in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s, and

generally presented by the Abbey Theatre, but only one of his later

plays, Petticoat Loose (1979) was staged at the Abbey.He has been

viewed as a natural successor to Synge, by such as Prof Robt

O'Driscoll (see below), and Molloy himself saying in the Irish Times

in Sept 1955 - "Does Synge influence me?. Not directly, but the people

who gave him his material do. My neighbourhood at home is full of

Synge characters".
