The playwright Brian Friel who was born in Northern Ireland intentionally avoided to write plays about the conflict in the province. However, since the formation of Field Day Theatre Company, he has changed his strategy: Friel offers responses to the problem through art. In his plays Translations and Making History, he applies historical dimensions to assist an effort to understand the current situation in Ulster. In the former, he depicts how Irish language and culture were deprived of by the English in the 19th century and examines the role of language in terms of national identity. In the latter, he centres on a historical figure, Hugh O'Neill, who is regarded as a national hero in Ireland. However, Friel presents O'Neill in a different perspective than the legend and investigates the validity of history. In both plays Friel attempts to define Irishness newly, which is free from partisan myths.
