Our Friends in the NorthA magnificent chronicle of the 1960s and 70s in the North East of England, London and what was to become Zimbabwe, Our Friends in the North charts a devastating defeat of left-wing aspirations. As the thirst for power fights it out with idealism, corruption takes root and a trail of victims is left in its wake. Spanning two decades and fourteen characters, the play sees this changing world through the aspirations and temptations of Tosca, Mary, Geordie and Nicky, four young people from Newcastle whose lives take very different paths.
Author Peter Flannery

Production details

The production is hugely pertinent this year as another era of left-wing power enters an 'orderly transition' and New Labour endeavours to clean its slate.
