The award-winning Green & Blue explores the painful and humorous realities faced by the individuals who patrolled the border during the height of the conflict.

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.

Moderator: Jennifer Keating, University of Pittsburgh

Panelist:
Paula McFetridge will discuss portrayals of policing, borders, and contending conceptions of security as explored in the production, Green & Blue, to be performed in Pittsburgh a City Theatre Co. November 9th-11th. This play, written by Laurence McKeown, draws from oral achieves collected from former police officer in An Garda Siochana and the Royal Ulster Constabulary (before its reorganization to become the Police Service of Northern Ireland).

Portrait essays, woven with photographs, documents each artist's coming of age in Ireland and Northern Ireland, in the context of her emerging practice. As individuals, their work considers infringements on human rights, systemic violence, gender roles, and the negotiations of figurative and literal borders and boundaries. Together, they interrogate past and present conflict and emergence from conflict, locally and globally.
