Zusatztext There is a brief but very concise, useful and necessary exposé of the political, social and economic circumstances that made Derry the focal point of the early troubles. She ... approaches the Field Day phenomenon with documentary zeal ... Her analyses of the plays are excellent both as dramatic creations in themselves and in the way they touch on issues that relate to the Field Day project. There is a particularly valuable examination of the different responses of audiences and critics watching a performance of Translations in Northern Ireland, the Republic and Britain. Klappentext Acting Between the Lines is the first full-length study of Northern Ireland's Field Day Theatre Company. Zusammenfassung Since its creation in 1980 by actor Stephen Rea and playwright Brian Friel, Northern Ireland's Field Day Theatre Company has brought drama to the entire island.
