The Field Day Review is growing up fast. For the fifth year running, Red Dog has been commissioned by editors Seamus Deane & Ciarán Deane, to design their annual high-profile journal, concerned with Irish literary and political culture. The first Field Day Review appeared in 2005, 25 years after the establishment of the Field Day Theatre Company by Brian Friel and Stephen Rea. In that time, Field Day has toured many plays, including world premieres of celebrated works by Friel, Terry Eagleton, Thomas Kilroy, Derek Mahon, Stewart Parker and Tom Paulin.

Taking the memorable design that Red Dog has developed for the book over the last few years, and evolving it with sensitivity and consideration, we have created another highly desirable and unique document, which, with its typographic refinement and visual richness, is worthy of its thought-provoking scholarly and artistic contents.
