description: Stuart Carolan’s debut play tells the story of a fractured family in present-day Ireland, entrenched in violent and uncompromising republicanism, which finally shatters when a senior figure in the IRA visits the farm to hunt out a suspected informer. Blackly comic and chillingly real, Defender of the Faith explores the conflict between family loyalty and political beliefs.
