Synopsis: | Never mind the nurses, cleaners and teachers: the private finance initiative (PFI) makes life hard for theatre performers too. The four actors in Private Agenda, a new drama-documentary on Labour's brave new world of modernised public services, must cram several dozen roles into their hour and 15 minutes on stage. The characters include a nurse, a professor, a midwife, a mother, a porter, a teacher, accountant, dentist, janitor, pupil, and so on, their stories and perspectives coalescing into a busy, eloquent discussion of the PFI and its impact on individuals and communities. The targets range from the shoddiness of building design to the cost of hospital car parking and the frustrations of running public services along commercial lines. It's not agit-prop, however; several of the play's voices offer qualified support for PFI. - Erlend Clouston, Guardian | |||||

Notes: | - | |||||
Synopsis: | When George Galloway was put on trial by the Labour Party for his opposition to the Iraq War, what followed was as much an abuse of language as natural justice. He was convicted and expelled in proceedings which made a mockery of the party's claim to cherish freedom of speech. Not only did the party rewrite its own rules, it tried to redefine basic English words. You couldn't make it up. New Labour did. "When I use a word", Humpty Dumpty said in a rather scornful tone, it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less" | |||||
