7:84 theatre gallery

One of the most beautiful things that happened to me in Scotland was to get to know John McGrath and Elizabeth MacLennan the founder of the prestigious political Theatre Group: The 7:84 Theatre Company. In 1984 the company needed someone to write songs and perform for a one woman show written by John and called: The baby and the Bathwater. John and Liz invited me to meet them at their flat an there they explained to me what was required of me not before telling me that they knew the Chilean actor Hugo Medina in those days living in exile in London. I accepted the challenge with happiness. I was about to enter a world where I had never been before, a very demanding theatre world which resulted for me in a unique and an invaluable experience. John and Liz become with the passing of time good friends of mine and I could see how committed they were in producing a type of theatre that was politically committed against the evil of our capitalist society. The 7:84 Theatre Company took pride in taken their shows to the remote communities of Scotland where no other theatre company would dare to go. We travelled extensively in Britain, including Scotland of course, and Canada in two occasions. I met famous people and even more they invited me to be a guitarist for John's play: The Albannach with the beautiful music by Edward McGuire. In 2002 we were devastated by the death of my compañero John at an age when he was at the peak of his intellectual capacity. The Following is the 7:84 gallery I have compiled.
