In Observe
The Sons Of Ulster Marching Towards The Somme, eight men volunteer
to serve in the 36th Ulster Division at the beginning of the First World
War. Following their experiences, the play reaches a climax at the start
of the battle of the Somme on 1 July 1916 - also the anniversary of the
Battle of the Boyne in 1690, one of the most infamous battles in British
and Irish history. With heavy casualties from the Ulster Division, the
Somme, like the Boyne, holds a significant place in the history of the
Irish Protestant movement. |
