Bogwog, according to the O'Neill, "is a play dealing with the very beginning of the conflict in Northern Ireland. A parallel with the conflicts in Iraq and Gaza and of particular resonance to events over the past weeks, Bogwog deals with the military intervention in Ulster and its fallout through a half-Irish, half-British family living in the North of England. It's about waking up one morning and finding yourself the enemy. It's about having to answer questions about the life you live and the person you are because of the actions of others, done in your name."

Tickets for the O'Neill Conference readings are available by phoning (860) 443-1238 or visit www.theoneill.org.
