Description

Dan Gordon returns to his native East Belfast to explore the work of four writers with strong connections to this part of the city. In doing so he considers how these writers - St John Ervine, Thomas Carnduff, Sam Thompson and Stewart Parker - explored the experiences of Belfast's working class communities and brought their voices to a wider audience.
