Theatres Of The Troubles Theatre Resistance And Liberation In Ireland

This is the first study of the role of working class Republican and Loyalist popular theatres during the Troubles in Ireland. Some of the texts and performances documented were created by cultural archivists, others by Republican prisoners of war, Loyalist paramilitaries, or by priests and nuns. Based on primary sources, many of them made available for the first time, this book tells the history of one of the most important periods of political theatre in post-war Europe. -- Publisher description
