Pentecost, a play by Stewart Parker (1941-1989), even if written in 1987, stages five characters imprisoned in a house because of the Loyalist Workers Council's strike which brought down the Executive of the power-sharing government in Northern Ireland in 1974.

His play is set in Belfast, more precisely in Ballyhackamorre, a Protestant area in the east of the city.
