Resumo

Durante as três décadas dos chamados Troubles, os conflitos  da Irlanda do Norte (1969-1998), uma quantidade notável de peças sobre os conflitos foi escrita, principalmente por dramaturgos irlandeses (do norte). Recentemente, no entanto, juntamente com as crescentes preocupações com a violência em todo o mundo desde o 11 de setembro, autores que não são descendentes de irlandeses começaram a escolher os problemas do norte como tema. Este artigo trata de duas peças, The Big Fellah, de Richard Bean, e The Ferryman, de Jez Butterworth, nenhuma das quais foi escrita por um dramaturgo irlandês, e examina se e até que ponto é possível dizer que elas podem transcender as fronteiras regionais e se tornar parte de memórias globais no contexto do Acordo pós-Sexta-Feira Santa e do 11 de setembro.
