The play Our Brethren Shield, written by Mark Westbrook was first produced at the Foyle Arts Building in November 2005. It played to full houses in the small theatre space.
The play centres around a community centre where the women of the village await to hear the fate of their men folk whose fishing vessel is currently lost at sea. The women are all inter-related in some way as is the case with island life and they do not all get on well.
The play is a piece of magic realism, it is essentially aiming verisimilitude but includes a magical element, which is an important part of the story.
The title comes from the hymn 'For those in peril on the sea' and in this play is an allusion to the power of the women's love and bond to each other and their men that it is meant to protect them.
The play is currently planned for an Irish translation and a performance on Tory Island off the coast of Ireland.
