Chronicles of Long Kesh

A NEW PLAY BY NORTHERN IRELAND’S CELEBRATED PLAYWRIGHT MARTIN LYNCH

The hilarious, painful and shocking story of Northern Ireland’s infamous prison, Long Kesh, told through the eyes of prison officers, Republicans and Loyalists, a rich assortment of patriots, chancers, leaders, wives, escapers and hypochondriacs. Full of 1960’s Motown songs and wild, irreverent humour, this is the inside story of the Troubles.

Chronicles of Long Kesh premièred in Belfast in January 2009 with a sold-out run and standing ovations every night. The play has toured throughout Northern Ireland and was a smash-hit during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2009.
