High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Observe the Sons of Ulster Marching Towards the Somme, is perhaps one of Frank McGuinness's most respected plays. The Irish dramatist's work received several awards and accolades, most notably the London Evening Standard Award for Most Promising Playwright. It was first staged in the Peacock Stage of the renowned Abbey Theatre, in Dublin in 1985. The play centres on the experiences of eight men who volunteer to serve in the 36th (Ulster) Division at the beginning of the First World War. It reaches a climax at the start of the terrible battle of the Somme on July 1, 1916 the actual anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. The Somme, where the Ulster Division suffered heavy casualties, has, like the Boyne, come to have a significant place in Northern Irish Unionist consciousness. Stylistically typical of McGuinness's art, the narrative decentres the constructed ideals of homosocial institutions, such as the military.
