Dateline: 22nd March, 2004

New from 7:84

7:84 Theatre Company present a staging of

The Trial
based on the transcripts of George Galloway’s hearing at Labour’s National Constitutional Committee.

7:84's advertising says:

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"

The staging of The Trial – How New Labour purged George Galloway takes place on Friday 2nd April at 7.30pm.

Room 1, STUC Centre, 333 Woodlands Road, Glasgow G3 6NG.
Tickets £2.00.
Please reserve your tickets by contacting Marianne Maxwell at 7:84 on 0141 334 6686 or e mail admin@784theatre.com
