Notes: Poetry and Irish translation by Robert Welch | ||||
Synopsis: This Piece of Earth addresses an especially grim moment in Irish history: the Irish Famine or Great Hunger of 1845-1850. The play blends the barren style and staging of Samuel Beckett with the beauty and intimacy of Brian Friel and depicts the physical and emotional struggles of a couple trying to reach the coast and flee Ireland for a better life. For the people of contemporary Northern Ireland negotiating a peaceful path, this piece is a ghost from the past which has been welcomed by some and not others; the famine theme has had few treatments, but this one - while controversial in the Irish media - has equally challenging questions to ask in countries trying to reconcile issues of land, food, and freedom. | ||||
