Kenneth Sarr was the pen name of Kenneth Sheils Reddin (1895 -1967), an Irish author and judge. He was born in Dublin and attended Belvedere College, Clongowes Wood College, and from 1910 Scoil Éanna, where Thomas McDonagh and Patrick Pearse were formative influences. His first pseudonym was Kenneth Esser (from "Kenneth S. R.") later shortened to Kenneth Sarr. He joined the Irish Volunteers and was interned after the Easter Rising. Literary figures often met at J.J. Reddin's house and Kenneth was associated with the Irish Theatre Company in Hardwicke Street, where his brothers Kerry and Norman acted. He attended University College Dublin and qualified as a solicitor. He was a member of the United Arts Club and sometime President of the Irish PEN Club. He visited James Joyce in Paris several times; Joyce, during his father's final illness, telegraphed Reddin about his treatment. Reddin supported the Anglo-Irish Treaty and his father's house in Artane was burned in the Irish Civil War. In 1922 he was appointed a District Court judge based in Mullingar, later moving to the Newbridge and then Dublin districts. As well as writing plays and novels, he collected humorous anecdotes from his judicial work intended for a book to be called Laughter in My Court. He retired from the bench on 19 March 1965. His papers are held by the Kenneth Spencer Research Library at the University of Kansas (Wikipedia).…
