Commissioned by the Royal Court in the midst of continuing IRA violence, Rat in the Skull centres on an interview between an RUC inspector and a Catholic man in London, detained under the Prevention of Terrorism Act. Told from the point of view of an Ulster Protestant, it cast a new, unexpected perspective on the struggle.
Made by ITV in 1987, this is a deeply corrosive recreation of Ron Hutchinson's play for the Royal Court. Essentially told in flashback, the play opens with Convey's Roche being physically assaulted by visiting RUC man Nelson, played by Brian Cox.
