Curtain rises on policing the Troubles

A REFLECTION of how far the unionist and nationalist communities in Northern Ireland have come is how former IRA prisoner, hunger striker and now playwright, Laurence McKeown, describes working with ex-RUC members and gardaí for his play, Green and Blue.
The play, which aims to humanise the police officers working on both sides of the border during the Troubles, will be staged at the West Cork Fit-Up Festival by Kabosh theatre company.
