Play: America driven by an urge to demonise... America closing its
ranks in the face of supposed threats to its security, external and
internal... America run by determined Republicans demanding
unquestioning loyalty and conformity at the expense of individual
dissent... In 1947 the House Un-American Activities Committee had set
about extirpating the enemy within - Communists, ex-Communists,
fellow-travellers and liberals who, it was claimed, had infiltrated
every aspect of life with the intention of destroying America. Now in
the 1950s they began to close in on an axis of evil of a more
glamorous nature: the freethinkers who worked in the Hollywood movie
industry. Eric Bentley s play, last performed in the West End with
huge success in the 1970s, comes to the Tricycle Theatre for four
performances only. The cast will be entirely made up of lawyers, and
the proceeds from these performances will help fund the Tricycle
Theatres production of The Bloody Sunday Inquiry in 2004. Edited by
Eric Bentley.
