Naked Thoughts That Roam About by John Mcgrath
A lifetime of polemical writing about the theatre from the socialist playwright, director, producer and founder of 7:84. Naked Thoughts That Roam About is McGrath's own selection from a long lifetime of writing about and campaigning for a theatre that is both truly popular and politically responsible. 'Committed to the idea of art as popular, relevant and politically engaged, McGrath devoted his life to that cause... His prose-style, like the man himself, is ebullient, provocative and, above all, life-enhancing.' Michael Billington 'He was one of those people whom you always rely on not to sell-out, and he never did' Ken LoachJohn McGrath (1935-2002) was a playwright and theatre theorist. He also wrote for TV, notably Z-Cars). In 1971 he founded 7:84 (named after the statistic that 7% of the population of Britain owns 84% of the wealth), for whom he wrote 20 plays. His theatre manifesto, A Good Night Out, is a classic theatre text.
