Making Theatre in Northern Ireland examines the relationships
between theatre and the turbulent political and social context of
Northern Ireland since 1969. It explores in detail key theatrical
performances which deal directly with this context. The works
examined are used as exemplars of wider approaches to
theatre-making about Northern Ireland. The book is aimed at a
student readership: it is largely play-text-based, and it contains
useful contextualising material such as a chronological list of
Northern Ireland's plays in the modern period, a full bibliography,
and a brief chronology. Students find it hard to obtain any
detailed and informed perspective on this key element of the
theatre of Ireland and Britain: Northern Ireland's theatrical
traditions are normally discussed only as an adjunct to discussions
of Irish theatre more generally, or as so exceptional as to be
beyond comparison with others. This book sets out to fill this gap.
