Ireland 1920: workers from field and country unite to form volunteer guerrilla armies to face the ruthless "Black and Tan" squads that are being shipped from Britain to block Ireland's bid for independence.

Driven by a deep sense of duty and a love for his country, Damien abandons his burgeoning career as a doctor and joins his brother, Teddy, in a dangerous and violent fight for freedom.

As the freedom fighters' bold tactics bring British to breaking point, both sides finally agree to a treaty to end the bloodshed. But, despite the apparent victory, civil war erupts and families who fought side by side, find themselves pitted against one another as sworn enemies, putting their loyalties to the ultimate test.

About PlayRight: The Season

SmackBang Theatre Co. presents the winners of the 2006 PlayRight Competition. PlayRight is a writers' competition aimed at promoting new and exciting one-act plays from across Aotearoa. Over 80 plays were submitted, nine plays chosen for the public readings, and now it's down to the three winning plays. These plays will be performed together each night for two weeks. This is a great opportunity to witness some of the best one-act plays Aotearoa has to offer.
