This series celebrates, and examines the challenges for, women making theatre in Northern Ireland from the 1980s to the present day.
You will hear from theatremakers working in various roles, including writing, acting, directing, lighting and sound. From Charabanc Theatre Company’s establishment during the years of the Troubles to the contemporary theatre scene and Waking The Feminists NI, the episodes trace a rich tradition of women in theatre.

War and conflict is raging across the globe. From Europe and the Middle East to Africa and the Americas, divisions between and within nations are leaving civilians dead and displaced.
Northern Ireland has seen its fair share of violence and bloodshed since its founding in 1921. Although the Good Friday peace agreement was signed more than 25 years ago, the peace process is still a work in progress. Explore a ground-breaking research project led by Dr. Jocelyn Dautel on how Northern Ireland’s past continues to impact the way young people consume and share “truths” about their nation’s history.
