Ireland’s Legendary Kabosh Theatre present Green & Blue: 
An officer from the Royal Ulster Constabulary in his green uniform and Eddie from An Garda Síochána, resplendent in blue, communicate via crackly radios until an explosive incident forces them to meet across a field only farmers know the location of. Focusing on what it’s like to be hunted when you’re protecting a man-made line on the ground, the play looks at the societal and human cost of borders. Green & Blue is based on real-life interviews with former serving officers.

Experience this visceral production from Kabosh, Belfast’s trailblazing political theatre company. This award-winning show follows the stories of police officers from either side of the Irish divide, as they patrol the invisible line in the ground that splits the island in two. Written by acclaimed playwright Laurence McKeown, Green & Blue carefully treads the line of drama and humour, portraying an authentic and honest account of life on the Irish border during the height of the conflict. Starring James Doran and Vincent Higgins with direction from Paula McFetridge, Green & Blue fuses film and live theatre to create a memorable production that will stay with you long after leaving the theatre.
