Indicting Blair at the Tricycle

Earlier this year two leading barristers - Philippe Sands QC (for the prosecution) and Julian Knowles (for the defence) - tested the evidence of the grounds for an indictment of the British Prime Minister for the crime of aggression against Iraq. They examined a number of distinguished witnesses, including Members of Parliament, diplomats, international lawyers, civil servants, United Nations officials, policy advisors, Intelligence experts and journalists.

The arguments and testimony gathered will be edited into a play by Richard Norton-Taylor which will examine the criminal implications of the British Government’s decision to use force against Iraq, and allow you, the audience, to decide whether an indictment in this case is proven.

This play, Called To Account – The Indictment Of Anthony Charles Lynton Blair For The Crime Of Aggression Against Iraq – A Hearing, will be directed by Nicholas Kent and will run from 23rd April (previews from 19th) to 19th May.

Norton-Taylor is security affairs editor at The Guardian and his last play at the Tricycle, Bloody Sunday – Scenes From The Saville Inquiry, won the 2006 Laurence Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement In An Affiliate Theatre.
