The emergence of Irelands grassroots popular theatre is inexorably linked to the struggles of the workingclass Republicans and Loyalists of Derry and Belfastwith performances unfolding in and around the latest phase of the fourhundredyear conflict between Britain and Ireland. Theatres of the Troubles conveys how the momenttomoment unfolding of the conflict determined the organization, texts, performance contexts and receptions, and larger operations of these theatres in the Republican and Loyalist communities. Drawing upon previously unpublished primary sourcesincluding texts, interviews, workshops, and lettersthis volume examines how these theatres related to each other, to the European tradition of radical theatre, and to the models of liberation which were developing in the postcolonial context of the Republic. Theatres of Troubles represents a key addition to our understanding of the critical relationship between historical conditions and the development of radical theatre forms, while at the same time telling the story of a people who tried to engage theatre in a volatile, complex, and rapidly recontextualizing political situation.
