Abstract

This paper analyses the presence of intercultural elements in Helen Waddell's The Spoiled Buddha and discusses its importance for the Irish stage as it breaks with the stage conventions of her time. The analyses also reveals Waddell's antipatriarchal protest and the relationship between man and woman against the male dominated world of Buddhist Japan.
