Title: Field Day and the translation of Irish identities
Description: This book examines Field Days cultural intervention into the Northern Irish Troubles through individual readings of the fourteen plays produced by the enterprise. It argues that at the heart of this project were performances, in a variety of different forms and registers, of an ethics of translation that disrupted notions of Irish identity.
