Description
Its government has declared a vicious class war. A onesided war . . . We have started to fight back . . . with bombs.
Against a backdrop of Tory cuts, high unemployment and the deregulated economy of 1970s Britain, a young urban guerrilla group mobilises: The Angry Brigade. Their targets: Mps, embassies, police, pageant queens. A world of order is shattered by anarchy and the rules have changed. An uprising has begun. No one is exempt.
As a special police squad hunt the homegrown terrorists whose identities shocked the nation, James Graham's heartstopping thriller lures us into a frenzied world that looks much like our own.
The Angry Brigade was first produced by Paines Plough in September 2014 and this edition, featuring changes to the script, has been published to coincide with the production's transfer to the Bush Theatre, London, in May 2015.
