Thomas Carnduff
The Thomas Carnduff Archive is held as a special collection at Queen's University Belfast. According to Carnduff's son Noel, however, the playscript for 'Traitors' has never been found (cf: Introduction to Carnduff Archive Catalogue)
A slice-of-life play set in a back street in Belfast, telling a story of poverty, unemployment and gossipy neighbours prepared to play 'traitor' to their class and inform on neighbours apparently claiming unemployment benefits under false pretences.
