The central character of this play is Hugh O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone,
who led an Irish and Spanish alliance against the armies of
Elizabeth I in an attempt to drive the English out of Ireland. The
action takes place before and after the Battle of Kinsale, at which
the alliance was defeated: with O'Neill at home in Dungannon, as a
fugitive in the mountains, and finally exiled in Rome. In his
handling of this momentous episode Brian Friel has avoided the
conventions of 'historical drama' to produce a play about history,
the continuing process.
