Johnny Silvester, father of the nation, won the hearts and votes of Ireland. But that was in his heyday. Now, as this bright hinterland recedes, he finds himself revisited by a dubious past. An epic and lyrical tour de force, Hinterland reflects upon a notorious political career and returns an unexpected verdict.

Hinterland was produced by Out of Joint in a co-production with the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, and the Royal National Theatre, London. Following its première at the Octagon Theatre, Bolton, in January 2002, it transferred to the Abbey in February before opening at the National in March 2002.
