ACTIVISM IN THE 80s

Inspired by Ardent Theatre Company’s acclaimed production of STRIKE! by Tracy Ryan in 2023, Activism in the 80s is an educational online resource that explores the many themes of the play - Apartheid in South Africa, the British Anti-Apartheid Movement, the Dunnes Stores anti-apartheid strike that took place in Dublin 1984-87 and inspired the play, the struggles faced by trade unions, theatre activism and the development of the play itself.
