Editing Lord Dunsany (section)

===Drama===
After ''[[The Book of Wonder]]'' (1912), Dunsany began to write plays – many of which were even more successful at the time than his early story collections – while continuing to write short stories. He carried on writing plays for the theatre into the 1930s, including the famous ''If'' (1921), and also some radio productions.<ref>{{cite book|first=Martin|last=Gardner|author-link=Martin Gardner|chapter=Lord Dunsany|title=Supernatural Fiction Writers: Fantasy and Horror|date=1985|editor-first=E.F.|editor-last=Bleiler|editor-link=E.

Although many of Dunsany's plays were successfully staged in his lifetime, he also wrote "chamber plays" or [[closet dramas]]. Some of these chamber or radio plays involve supernatural events – a character appearing out of thin air or vanishing in full view of the audience, without an explanation of how the effect is to be staged, a matter of no importance, as Dunsany did not intend them to be performed live.
