  • Irene is a Neoclassical tragedy written between 1726 and 1749 by Samuel Johnson. It has the distinction of being the work Johnson considered his greatest failure. Since his death, the critical consensus has been that he was right to think so. Irene was Johnson's only play, and was first performed on 6 February 1749 in a production by his friend and former pupil David Garrick. The play was a commercial success and earned Johnson more money than anything else he had written up to that point. It was never revived during his lifetime, and there is no subsequent evidence of any other full-scale productions of Irene anywhere until 1999, making it one of the most unsuccessful plays ever written by a major author.

  • Irene è una tragedia Neoclassica scritta tra il 1726 e il 1749 da Samuel Johnson. Quest'opera ha la caratteristica di essere stata considerata da Johnson come il suo più grande insuccesso. Dopo la morte dell'autore, da parte della critica ci è stato un unanime consenso sul fatto che Johnson abbia avuto ragione a pensarla in quel modo. Irene è stata l'unica opera teatrale di Johnson e fu portata in scena per la prima volta il 6 febbraio 1749 dal suo amico ed ex allievo, David Garrick. L'opera fu un successo da botteghino e fece guadagnare a Johnson più di quant'altro aveva scritto fino a quel momento. Non venne mai più rappresentata durante la vita di Johnson e non ci sono testimonianze di qualsiasi altra rappresentazione in qualsiasi altro luogo di Irene, rendendo quest'opera teatrale una delle meno riuscite opere scritte da un autore di fama.
