written by Laurence McKeown New play to Commemorate the Hunger Strikes Literally days after “Remnants Of Fear” is over Dubbeljoint have launched themselves right into rehearsals for yet another new play this year. A play that is very different in content and style to Mitchell’s summer hit will coincide with the 25th Anniversary commemorations of the Hunger Strikes. The play is set in Long Kesh in 2006. Plans are already advanced to develop the site, including part of it as a museum to include the prison hospital where ten prisoners died on hunger strike in 1981 and where up to 400 men were on the blanket protest. The play follows Annie and her daughter, Theresa as they take a tour of the prison. Annie’s son Gerard has been imprisoned in the H blocks during the blanket protest and hunger strike and both Annie and Theresa had been regular visitors to the prison during that time. Two others are also visiting the prison, Robert an NIO official attached to the Prison Department, and Julie, a mature student researching the prison. As the four make their way around the prison they discover that each of them has a very different memory and knowledge of the place and what it means to them. The play also explores the idea that prison has any role to play in political resolutions. |
