PEOPLE

GERALD MACNAMARA

1866 - 1938

Gerald MacNamara was the pseudonym of Harry C. Morrow (1866-1938). Together with Rutherford Mayne, MacNamara helped found the Ulster Literary Theatre with David Parkhill and Bulmar Hobson. A talented amateur actor and writer, he wrote several comedies for the Ulster Theatre and excelled in comic character parts. Though a few of his works appeared in The Dublin Magazine, most of them, including No Surrender, have never been published.
