Christina Reid, Belfast-born and from a working-class Protestant family, is one of several playwrights who often dramatise—in a journalistic style—the assorted experiences of women who may not sympathize with the unionist agenda but are forced to choose between being either betrayers of the nation or silent supporters of their husbands and male family members. Her plays—which often delineate women's predicaments when husbands and brothers are absent fighting wars on the European mainland or intensely involved in anti-IRA paramilitary forces—can thus be seen as not only the historiography of Protestant northern Irishwomen and their awakening, but also critiques of the unionist ideology and its violence. In particular, this female-centered historiography through drama, not necessarily with political leaning towards any specific party, is complicated with issues of the coloured minorities whose presence in Ireland, or involvement with Irishwomen in Britain, initiates female liberation. The playwright, by touching upon the racial issues, also renders the ethnic and denominational conflicts in a significant global perspective, suggesting how Ireland's peace is not likely to be made by means of insular politics but through the growing contribution of immigrants and inter-racial marriages. Her plays, presumably, break fresh ground for the Irish theatre which is now striding out of the shadow of anti-colonial sentiments by exhibiting the true but not always appealing faces of this split nation. Reid's war dramas, to be discussed in relation to Protestant Northern Irishwomen's experiences, include Tea in a China Cup (1983), The Belle of the Belfast City (1989), and My Name, Shall I Tell You My Name? (1989). --
