Description
Its government has declared a vicious class war. A one-sided 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 home-grown terrorists whose identities shocked the nation, James Graham's heart-stopping 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.

Reviews
-
James Graham has a gimlet eye for newsworthy subjects . . . James Graham's gimlet-eyed play gives both sides of 70s anarchism and shows there's still plenty to get angry about
Guardian
-
Graham has an acute eye for the recurring patterns in the political fabric . . . tender, witty and . . . troublingly freighted with contemporary resonance.
Daily Telegraph
-
challenging but rewarding play . . . [Graham] is an outstanding political dramatist.
The Times
-
Graham is a funny writer on serious topics, and the script has his usual mix of ambition and levity.
