History Boys On The Rampage

From Dundalk to Dungannon, Ballycastle to Belfast, Field Day - Ireland's foremost touring theatre company - journeys past checkpoints and critics with Brian Friel's controversial new play 'Making History'. Arena follows the trail of actor Stephen Rea, and fellow Field Day directors Seamus Heaney and Tom Paulin, on a personal mission to investigate the distortion of Ireland's history by the work of poets, priests and politicians.
