Episode Notes
We conclude our month-long series of World War One related dramas with "Ulster Volunteers" by Gary Mitchell. This play moves through two time zones - the Battlefields of Belgium in 1916 and the Battlegrounds of Belfast today. In this dual narrative, the notions of "heroism" and "camaraderie" are explored and examined. "Ulster Volunteers" by Gary Mitchell contains language that some listeners may find offensive.
