| Description |
Partly autobiographical play, set in a Protestant quarter of Belfast ironically known as 'the Holy Land'. Deals with the period 1971 - 1972 which included Bloody Sunday when British troops fired on a civil rights march in Derry. …We watch four characters growing up in a series of flashbacks. Ten year old Mackie and Willis are the Lone Ranger and Tonto of Straight Street - all beyond its boundaries are simply Redskins…. |
