About the Author
John McGrath was a pioneering Scottish playwright, director, and founder of the influential 7:84 Theatre Company, dedicated to bringing theatre to working-class audiences across Britain. Born in 1932 in Birkenhead, he studied at Oxford and began his career in London before embracing a commitment to political theatre that critiqued capitalism and celebrated Scottish identity. His works often blended sharp wit, historical insight, and musical elements to address social injustices, earning him acclaim as a vital voice in post-war British drama. McGrath's legacy endures through his innovative approach to community-based performances and his unflinching exploration of class, culture, and power dynamics in modern society.
