THE BOLD TARTAN OF ULSTER

A sixteen year old tormented Belfast youth finds temporary solace escaping the home

violence only to find violence outside the home.

Glasgo, tired of a disenfrancised home, seeks the company of his friends in an east belfast riot

at time of looming civil war between the protestant loyalists and Irish republicanism. With

naivity and boundless energy he goes off to have what most youths from the Irish divisions in

the seventies wanted, risk and devil may care attitude skirting the perimetres of the powerful

paramiltaries. But soon our trio are bangoed when they find not all things are kosher with

some disquised antagonists.

Chararcter Profile.

Glasgo is a sixteen year old typical male youth. He is not enjoying life at home. Parents are

not in touch with their childrens emotional or phsycological requirements. This bares out on

their attitude to them and increasingly makes Glasgo yearn for sense of belonging and then

excitment. He is lanky and feeling inadequate as a young male who wishes he had the

physiche of some of his new peers.
