Ireland's magical art IN THEATER, college, and pub, Dubliners joyfully parade their skill with words. Abbey Theatre actors in Thomas Murphy's play, Famine, re-create the disaster of 1845-47. The 65-year-old Abbey specializes in the works of such Irish playwrights as W. B. Yeats, Sean O'Casey, John M. Synge, and Brendan Behan. Scarlet-robed doctoral graduate of Trinity College poses for keepsake photographs after a ceremony conducted in Latin. In 1591 Queen Elizabeth I chartered Trinity for "the banishment of barbarism, tumults, and disorderly living." In Mulligan's pub on Poolbeg Street men savor pints of Guin ness and the roll of words on the tongue in a scene reminiscent of Ulysses, James Joyce's novel about his fellow townsmen. 358
