The Freedom of the City

This event is part of:
Mountview PG Directors' Season

During a peaceful demonstration three civilians find themselves trapped in the Londonderry Mayor’s office.

A play by Brian Friel
Directed by Lilach Yosiphon

During a peaceful demonstration three civilians find themselves trapped in the Londonderry Mayor’s office. Outside, the world uses their plight to paint them as terrorists or martyrs.

Inspired by true events, Brian Friel’s 1973 classic is still potent, especially in the light of the 2010 Saville Inquiry which declared the Bloody Sunday shootings unjustifiable.

A cast of just three actors play all 17 parts in this production which asks the question what is the reality and how does it become history?

“Stand your ground! Don’t move! Don’t panic! This is your city! This is your city!”

This production is part of a double bill with A Butcher of Distinction.
