On a farm on the border, a fence needs repair after being destroyed by vandals. When Sinead finds Henry hungover in her field, she ropes him in to help. But re-building a fence is more complicated than it seems. What begins as a simple task soon turns to talk of their past, a reliving of old memories, and a relentless competition to come out on top. \u2018The Border Game\u2019 is a timely and powerful reflection on 100 years of the border and how it has impacted those who live along it.<\/p>\n
Then on 9 September, the political and historical fantasy \u2018The Trial Of The Gaelic Lords Of Ulster In The Court Of History\u2019, will see Conn O\u2019Neill, the last Gaelic Lord of east Belfast, called from the grave to answer the charge that he and his fellow chiefs betrayed Ulster and her people. As in Anthony Russell\u2019s other trial plays there is no fourth wall, the audience is the jury, and all are expected to vote guilty or not guilty only on the evidence presented.<\/p>\n
The exceptional Kabosh Productions return on 21 September with the award-winning \u2018Green & Blue\u2019 exploring the painful and humorous realities faced by the individuals who patrolled the border during the height of the conflict. An officer from the Royal Ulster Constabulary in his green uniform, and Eddie from An Garda S\u00edoch\u00e1na, resplendent in blue, communicate via crackly radios until an explosive incident forces them to meet across a field only farmers know the location of. Focusing on what it\u2019s like to be hunted when you\u2019re protecting a man-made line on the ground, the play looks at the societal and human cost of borders.<\/p>\n
