Tintown

OVERVIEW

  • Playwright

    Bob Kelly 

  • Synopsis

    With the outbreak of WW2, the Irish government introduces internment without trial for all suspected IRA members, and Bernard Carroll is swept up with hundreds of others and held in a ramshackle internment camp on the plains of the Curragh. The camp is packed with left-wing revolutionaries, civil war veterans and republicans, all held without trial. There’s one catch – they can leave any time they want, provided they are willing to renounce violence and take an oath of loyalty to the Irish government. They stay.
