Identifier: Acc.10893/421
Scope and Contents From the Sub-Series:

Aside from, though related to, his work with 7:84, John McGrath was involved in the study of political theatre, and was himself the subject of many articles, papers and dissertations. Much of the material listed in this section falls into this category, though there is also some that might equally well have been incorporated into the main 7:84 sequence, and vice-versa. There is some overlap with, and duplication of, items in the main sequence.
