\"Plays<\/a><\/p>\n

With the support of the International Fund for Ireland (IFI)<\/strong> the Balor DCA in partnership with the Alley Theatre<\/strong>, have created four drama productions examining contentious subject matter in our shared past, including one based in the Plantation<\/strong> period, another examining issues surrounding the Fair Day <\/strong>the third exploring the legacy of WW1<\/strong> for veterans, and our last production based on the theme of emigration.<\/p>\n

These productions have been used to shed light on these key historical events and to begin discussion amongst members of the audience in terms of the legacy of these events for our modern society.<\/p>\n

Collectively the productions have been viewed by over 1,000 people including pupils and teachers in post primary schools as well as community groups. Indeed, a number of the productions have been sustained beyond the initial support of the IFI <\/strong>programme featuring in events such as Blue Stacks, Peader O\u2019 Donnell <\/strong>and Charles Macklin<\/strong> festivals<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
