📢#OutNow in #OA: 'After the #Miners’ Strike: #A39 and #Cornish #Political #Theatre versus #Thatcher’s #Britain: Volume 1', by Paul Farmer

In this rich memoir, the first of two volumes, Paul Farmer traces the story of #A39, the #Cornish #political #theatre group he co-founded and ran from the mid-1980s to the early #1990s.

Farmer offers a unique insight into #A39’s creation, operation, and #artistic practice during a period of convulsive #political and social change.

The reader is plunged into the national #miners’ strike and the collapse of #Cornish #tin mining, the impact of #Thatcherism and ‘#Reaganomics’, and the experience of touring #Germany on the brink of reunification, alongside the influence on #A39 of writers #BertoltBrecht, #JohnMcGrath and #KeithJohnstone.
