I co-wrote a play about the border – it’s going on tour round Ireland if anyone fancies it.

Well. A few years ago I travelled the length of the border and interviewed around 100 people, and used those interviews to write a play. *The Border Game* it’s called. Was on at The Lyric in Belfast last year and now it’s going round the island. It was supposed to mark 100 years of partition – not celebrate it, but just mark it. Looking at the impact of the border on the communities closest to it.

Got [4 stars](https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2021/oct/11/the-border-game-review-lyric-belfast) in the Guardian and [4 stars](https://www.thestage.co.uk/long-reviews/belfast-international-arts-festival-2021-border-game-grimm-hotel) in the stage when it was out last year.

It’s a good bit of craic if anyone fancies a night at the theatre. Other things I’ve written are *My Left Nut* and *The Alternative*. More info and links and reviews and things on my website: https://michaelandoisin.com/the-border-game
