Direct Acting, w Donal O'Kelly (E26)

Ireland was a crucible for colonial mass murder.

The brilliant playwright and actor Donal O'Kelly has been reflecting on what his award-winning show 'Catalpa' left out of the history it depicts – including genocide, and the value of direct action to resist it.

Plus: Kate Shanahan RIP, and The Ditch takes a victory lap three years after it was attacked over its Niall Collins reporting.

The Party Line is a podcast from The Ditch, hosted by Harry Browne, with Eoghan McNeill of The Ditch.
