7:84 Theatre Company (England) 1973-1984: Scottish left-wing agitprop theatre group. The name comes from a statistic, published in The Economist in 1966, that 7% of the population of the UK owned 84% of the country's wealth. The group was originally founded by playwright John McGrath, his wife Elizabeth MacLennan and her brother David MacLennan in 1971, and operated throughout Great Britain. In 1973, it split into 7:84 (England) and 7:84 (Scotland). The English group folded in 1984, having lost its grant from the Arts Council of Great Britain.
7:84 Theatre Company (Scotland) 1971-2008: In 1973, it split into 7:84 (England) and 7:84 (Scotland). The English group folded in 1984, having lost its grant from the Arts Council of Great Britain. The Scottish group lost its funding from the Scottish Arts Council in 2006, though Artistic Director Lorenzo Mele successfully secured funding for a further year from April 2007. He subsequently commissioned a series of four plays, Wound by Nicola McCartney, Eclipse by Haresh Sharma, A Time To Go by Selma Dimitrijevic, and Doch-An-Doris (A Parting Drink) by Linda McLean. Together, these short plays formed Re:Union, a production which toured Scotland in early 2007. This was followed in September 2007 by Raman Mundair's The Algebra of Freedom, which also toured extensively throughout Scotland. This production was directed by 7:84's Associate Director, Jo Ronan, and designed by David Sneddon. On 31 December 2008, the Scottish company ceased trading, citing "the changing funding structures in Scottish theatre.

Synopsis: | the play is called the Algebra of Freedom, and it's certainly structured around a powerful equation, with two men standing on either side of it. In the first scene of this new production from 7:84 Scotland -written for the company by fast-rising young British playwright, poet and artist Raman Mundair -we meet Jack and Tony, two British policemen who have been involved in a hasty, wrongful killing, akin to the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes at Stockwell underground station in 2005. Jack, the older man, has put the whole experience behind him, and is trying to tie up the loose ends by submitting a report that shows the police action in a positive light, but Tony is literally haunted by the incident, coming home every night to find the ghost of the dead man singing, cooking and sashaying around his lonely flat like the shadow of a partner that might have been. On the other side of the equation, meanwhile, we find Parvez -a young British Asian guy mourning the death of his estranged wife in a violent incident in Palestine - and his friend Waheed, who is trying to involve him in an increasingly violent strain of radical Islamist activity. He, too, is haunted. the restless spirit of his wife - a young woman of strong Muslim faith -constantly warns him against Waheed's perversion of Koranic teaching, and teases him back towards her own love of life. Both men are subjected to powerful male pressures to show loyalty towards the group to which they belong. Jack tells Tony that unquestioning loyalty to fellow-officers is a fundamental value of the police force, and taunts him with being gay when he fails to conform. Waheed tells Parvez that his willingness to become involved in violent action against the West is a test of his manhood. And when they finally meet - by chance, when Parvez picks Tony up in the late-night taxi he drives for a living - it's as if both briefly glimpse in the other a faint hope of forgiveness, or redemption, or new life. | |||||

Notes: | Original Playwright - Sophocles. Televised 1986 by BBC | |||||
Synopsis: | the gods never move faster than when punishing men with the consequences of their own actions. Desperate to gain control over a city ravaged by civil war, Creon refuses to bury the body of Antigone's rebellious brother. Outraged, she defies his edict. Creon condemns the young woman, his niece, to be buried alive. the people daren't object but the prophet Teiresias warns that this tyranny will anger the gods: the rotting corpse is polluting the city. Creon hesitates and his fate is sealed. Sophocles' great tragic play Dramatises the clash between the family and the city and, with high poetry and deep tragedy, presents an irreconcilable but equally-balanced conflict. Sophoclean heroine Antigone has become a cultural archetype, the symbol of personal integrity and an icon of political freedom, whilst her co-protagonist Creon can be interpreted as either a civic saviour or a ruthless tyrant. | |||||

Notes: | adapted from the novel by Christopher Brookmyre. | |||||
| This play is an adaptation of Christopher Brookmyre's novel of the same name. the title refers to the anecdote that if a frog is placed in boiling water, it will jump out, but if it is placed in cold water that is slowly heated, it will not perceive the danger and will be cooked to death. the story is often used as a metaphor for the inability of people to react to significant changes that occur gradually. Here it is used to draw attention to the activities and dogma of the Catholic Church. It is a macabre tale of how the church pits itself against politicians, who are against section 28 and pro same sex marriages, to tarnish their reputations and gain the moral high ground. they stop at nothing blackmail, child pornography and murder to achieve their ends. the plans backfire and elspeth, the more enlightened Catholic is left to question her beliefs. | |||||

Synopsis: | the Dramas of everyday life in Belfast are but off-stage events in this stirring play about the lives of three women whose men have been killed or imprisoned for their political activities, but where bread must still be bought between explosions. In spite of its chilling theme there are many humorous and heart-warming moments - a play about people, not politics, which offers excellent acting opportunities. Rona Munro received the Evening Standard Most Promising Playwright Award for 1991 for Bold Girls. | |||||

Synopsis: | Renowned first as a novel, and then as a prize-winning motion picture, the story of the Joad family and their flight from the dust bowl of Oklahoma is familiar to all. Desperately proud, but reduced to poverty by the loss of their farm, the Joads pile their few possessions on a battered old truck and head west for California, hoping to find work and a better life. Led by the indomitable Ma Joad, who is determined to keep the family together at any cost, and by the volatile young Tom Joad, an ex-convict who grows increasingly impatient with the intolerance and exploitation which they encounter on their trek, the Joads must deal with death and terrible deprivation before reaching their destination-where their waning hopes are dealt a final blow by the stark realities of the Great Depression. and yet, despite the anguish and suffering which it depicts, the play becomes in the final essence a soaring and deeply moving affirmation of the indomitability of the human spirit, and of the essential goodness and strength which-then as now-resides in the hearts and minds of the "common man," throughout the world. | |||||

| Portrayal of impoverished 1930s Glasgow. Despite cramped tenement living and the turmoil of seven children, there is laughter and strength in the Morrison family. Tough and tender mother Maggie, just about holds together her unruly brood against wretched poverty. But sniping neighbours, the flight of daughter Jenny, and the unexpected return to their overcrowded quarters of Maggie's son and his sexually restless wife erode her spirit. And then, just as temporary employment for beloved husband John affords a decent Christmas, wayward Jenny returns with new-found wealth, offering them the chance of escape and one big moral dilEmma. | |||||

| Nightclass showcases the formidable range of John McGrath's skills. Songs and agitprop are intercut deftly, often to ironic effect, with nuanced interplay between the five characters, the dialogue switching between sharp wit and painful revelation. Four lonely people drift into a night class on the English or British constitution. Each hopes that for a few quid a qualified expert will show them how that elusive monster holds the secrets to their plights and desperation. McGrath quickly has them relating to each other on the basis of rules as deep and unwritten as those of the notoriously elusive constitution itself. their youngish, patronising lefty lecturer persuades them to fiddle the class numbers so that he will be paid. He tries and fails to get off with the young, grieving woman in between his attacks on the Monarchy and bogus Democracy. the lady wife of a local magistrate takes the hump and rats on him, precisely at the point that the others sense they've a lot they can learn from each other. the beauty of this piece lies in three things. there are the tensions between positions asserted and the nuances of how the interactions unfold. there is the craft with which it is tied together. there is the ending in which the characters, regretting again what might have been, wander off through the corridors of powerlessness. Nightclass is an excellent place to study and appreciate John McGrath's huge talents. | |||||

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 | |||||

| the Salt Wound ushers in not only the monumental sea but also an almost oppressive awareness of a close-knit fishing community with all its orthodoxies, traditions and celebrations. Greenhorn does a convincing job of taking the classical passions of Greek tragedy and transposing them to a modern setting. everyone is right and wrong. No-one can do anything about it . . . It holds an audience gripped. | |||||

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" | |||||
