'We were looking up texts for this book, and we came across a file full of fragmentary scripts (and notes for scripts)which had been a series of quickly-improvised topical plays and playlets got together in the west of Ireland and put on in houses, pubs, streets, meetings and so forth to answer immediate needs of the day.' So the authors describe this collection of scripts etc. called 'Immediate Rough Theatre for Citizens' Involvement', which includes six short plays: 'The Devil and the Parish Pump', 'Sean O'Scrudu', 'The Hunting of the Mongrel Fox', 'No Room at the Inn', 'Mary's Name', and 'A Pinprick of History'.
