This history of recent theatre in northern Ireland examines the major developments in mainstream, applied, and community theatre in relation to the politics of the post-conflict period. From the Good Friday Agreement to the post-Brexit period, it tracks the ways in which theatre has been used to promote political agendas and drive social change.
