The Patriot Game: A Play

Bys: Schlömer, Elizabeth and Atkins, Alex

3rd soldier: Anyone know what they're fighting about?
2nd soldier: Well, it's religion, isn't it? Isn't it?
Well, is it? The Patriot Game is a play about the present conflict in Ireland, beginning with colonization 800 years ago and ending in a spiral of organized terror. In a kaleidoscope of dramatic scenes, music, songs and poems, it tells of the history, irony, tragedy of the troubles , and the effects that the political events and figures of the past and present have had upon the lives of ordinary Irish people - and their children.
