Aisteoir agus údar Éireannach ab ea Uaitéar Ó Maicín (Béarla: Walter Macken; 3 May 1915 – 22 April 1967).[1] Rugadh i nGaillimh é. Scríobh sé gearrscéalta, úrscéalta, agus drámaí.

Beathaisnéis

[cuir in eagar | athraigh foinse]

Ba aisteoir é i dtosach, go príomha leis an Taibhdhearc (áit ar bhuail sé lena bhean, Peggy)[2] i nGaillimh, agus le hAmharclann na Mainistreach i mBaile Átha Cliath. Bhí príomhpháirteanna aige ar Broadway freisin in The King of Friday's Men[3] le M. J. Molloy agus i ndráma dá chuid féin dar teideal Home Is the Hero. Bhí rólanna aige i roinnt scannán freisin, ina measc an t-athchóiriú a rinne Arthur Dreifuss ar The Quare Fellow le Breandán Ó Beacháin. Mar gheall ar an rath a bhí ar a thríú leabhar, Rain on the Wind (a bhuaigh gradam an Literary Guild sna Stáit Aontaithe),[4] bhí sé in ann díriú ar an scríbhneoireacht. Is dócha gur fearr aithne air as a thríológ d'úrscéalta stairiúla Éireannacha Seek the Fair Land, The Silent People, agus The Scorching Wind.[5]

I Meán Fómhair 1966, bhog sé go Mionlach, baile beag Gaeltachta i ngar do Chathair na Gaillimhe. D’éag sé go tobann sa bhaile ar an 22 Aibreán 1967 agus d'fhág sé a bhean agus a bheirt mhac ina dhiaidh.[6] Is iriseoir aitheanta in Éirinn é a mhac Ultan Macken, agus scríobh sé beathaisnéis ar a athair, Walter Macken: Dreams on Paper.[7]
