ABSTRACT
Three weeks after her arrest at the Ulster Museum, D’Arcy’s case was heard. Though she tried to broaden the hearing to focus on the problem of the artist in a time of repression, the tactic was not successful. In February, D’Arcy was in Armagh where she was invited to join a protest by Women Against Imperialism, a small group which included the republican socialist, Miriam Daly, who had galvanized Galway Theatre Workshop’s The Hunting of the Mongrel Fox. D’Arcy and Arden were now no longer willing to engage with professional theatre. They put together a script called The Menace of Ireland and D’Arcy also created a programme called The Trial and Prison Experience of CountessMarkiewicz.
