Contaminating the past in the theatre of Martin Lynch.

Contaminating the past in the theatre of Martin Lynch.

Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper › peer-review

Abstract

Locating Lynch in the tradition of John McGrath’s popular theatre allows his work to be seen as both recovering working class experience and, crucially, probing mythologies that have justified and perpetuated political violence. The paper is focused particularly on two of Lynch’s most recent works: Holding Hands at Paschendale (2006) and The Long Kesh Chronicles (2009).
