The Laughter of Our Children

Work:: The Laughter of Our Children (S0465820598)

The Laughter of Our Children is a powerful story based on true life events set in a small village in the North of Ireland in the most critical phase of the 1981 Hunger Strikes in the H blocks of Long Kesh. Surviving Hunger Strikers and families of those men who died in the H Blocks in 1981 attended the world premiere of Dubbeljoint's play The Laughter of Our Children in Belfast. The story examines the impact of the prison protests on the families and friends of the republican prisoners who are demanding recognition as - political prisoners. The plotline skillfully interweaves the lives of the main characters as they struggle to come to terms with the news from inside the prison and make the decision whether or not to support the anti-H Block campaign.
