摘要:The personal history of Little John Nee closely reflects the tribulations of migratory labourers in Ireland's northernmost county of Donegal. To discuss his work without profiling the artist would be specious. Glasgow-born but no Glaswegian, Nee is a playwright, songwriter and musician whose cultural nexus is Donegal-entrenched. Though currently residing in Tuam, County Galway, Nee considers Letterkenny, Donegal's cultural centre, his hometown. His family relocated from Glasgow to Letterkenny when he was twelve. The northwestern Irish county provides the setting for the majority of his plays, several of which straddle the North Channel. His multi-charactered solo performances based on local lore foster an audience identification process, promoting a deeper sense of Irish heritage
