    Transforming Legal Aid: Next Steps

    TRANSFORMING LEGAL AID: NEXT STEPS (CP ....../2013) CONSULTATION RESPONSE BY TREASURY COUNSEL TO THE CROWN AT THE CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT st 31 October 2013 1 OVERVIEW By this Consultation Paper, Transforming Legal Aid: Next Steps, H.M. Government has indicated that it rejects or can ignore much of the content of the thousands of Consultation Responses to its April Paper CP14/2013, particularly as to the future effect on the supply and quality of criminal advocacy services from the proposed changes to legal aid funding. Instead, this second stage: Treats as settled the principle of massive (30%) reductions to VHCC fees, but from a mistaken base and with no good policy justification; Seeks only to consult on the mechanism for introducing further big reductions in fees for Crown Court advocacy (the AGFS changes); Assumes that these changes will have no effect on the provision of advocacy services; and At the same time, suggests that those effects are unquantifiable and so invites consultee assistance as to their impact. The Treasury Counsel team at the Old Bailey considers that: (1) These proposals come as publicly funded fees for criminal advocacy are in the middle of a very steep, downward trajectory (25% savings over 4 years and continuing), the end point and consequences of which are neither complete nor known or understood by policymakers; (2) The current commercial state of the criminal Bar is precarious, as a result of previous policy implementation, so that even small changes in income will now have very significant effects;

    Trish Reid, Theatre & Scotland (Houndmills

    Ian Brown, editor, The Edinburgh Companion to Scottish Drama (Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 2011); Trish Reid, Theatre & Scotland (Houndmills: Palgrave Macmillan, 2013) Alan Riach What might be described as the conventional wisdom about Scottish drama is summed up in the first two sentences of chapter 10 of Marshall Walker’s book, Scottish Literature since 1707 (1996): ‘There is no paucity of Scottish theatrical heritage, but there is a shortage of durable Scottish plays. Drama is the genre in which Scottish writers have shown least distinction.’ It is a judgement that has been perpetuated over generations but only relatively recently has the necessary scholarship and engagement been advanced, by both academics and theatre practitioners, to interrogate the assumptions that lie behind it. Walker refers to ‘the circumstances of theatrical history’ and questions of suppression and censorship, the Reformation, the removal of the court to London in 1603, the Licensing Act of 1737, and concludes his introduction to the chapter by saying that despite familiar references to Allan Ramsay, John Home, Joanna Baillie, and the vitality of folk, music-hall and variety theatre, nothing much happens between Sir David Lyndsay in the sixteenth century and the ‘return’ of Scottish drama in the twentieth century. Most of his chapter then goes on to discuss incisively and refreshingly the achievements of J.M. Barrie, James Bridie and John McGrath but the context he sketches out is barren. As a summary, there is some brutal truth in this, but as an appraisal of the whole complex story, there is much more to be said, and much more has been discovered and made public in the decades since Walker’s book appeared.

Richard Price Choosing a Play: A Critical Survey of Neil M. Gunn's Drama Neil M. Gunn, one of the principal Scottish novelists of the twentieth cen­ tury, began writing plays from the mid-1920s, and continued to write drama and (especially latterly) radio dramatizations up until the 1960s. It is the aim of this essay to look again at this much-neglected aspect of Gunn's work, to demon­ strate how his drama tried to appeal to as wide an audience as possible, how it was both a didactic and political drama, and yet how it contained elements which can be securely described as "experimental." This is not to evade the generally accepted view that the formal nature of Gunn's plays tends to be less innovative than his novels, nor the view that his overall stagecraft was undeveloped.

Emma D’Inverno. Ross Dunsmore. Caitlin Fielding. Drew Paterson. Malcolm Rennie. Andy Secombe. "I find most good men occupied in designing and strengthening cages. I do not like cages. I think that the few minutes between the door of the cage and the jaws of the cat make life worth living." In a new production commissioned by the Finborough Theatre and continuing their rediscovery of James Bridie, one of the West End’s most successful dramatists of the 1930s and 1940s, the first London production since its 1950 premiere of Mr Gillie runs at the Finborough Theatre, playing Sunday and Monday evenings and Tuesday matinees from Sunday, 25 June 2017 (Press Night: Monday, 26 June 2017 at 7.30pm). Village headmaster William Gillie is killed by the furniture van coming to take away his possessions, as he is being evicted from his home when his school is closed down.

Having lost his school and his home and with none of his pupils quite finding the wings to fly free, his life is examined by a heavenly Procurator and Judge.

This document, produced in responseto perceived criticism by Eric Linklater, offers a unique insight into Gunn's view of his literary achievement at the end of his novel-writing career. In it Gunn sets out the theoretical concept of all his twenty novels being components of a single, composite, 'Novel of the Highlands', an abstract concept referred to in this thesis as a'meta-novel'.

    Acc.12942 January 2009 Inventory Acc.12942 Marillyn Gray / Gateway Theatre Papers National Library of Scotland Manuscripts Division George IV Bridge Edinburgh EH1 1EW Tel: 0131-466 2812 Fax: 0131-466 2811 E-mail: [email protected] © Trustees of the National Library of Scotland Papers, (1925-1997) of Scottish actor and theatre director Marillyn Gray (1930-2006) referred to as MG in the inventory. The collection chiefly relates to the Gateway Theatre, (1953-1965) in which Marillyn Gray was a regular performer. The Gateway papers came into her care at some point after the theatre closed possibly entrusted to her by, or after the death of, Sadie Aitken (1905-85) Gateway Theatre General Manager, some of whose papers are in the collection. Marillyn Gray was born in Edinburgh, attending Trinity Academy. After serving her apprenticeship at Perth Repertory theatre she had her first major role in 1951 with the Glasgow Citizens’ Spindrift written by Naomi Mitchison and Denis Macintosh, playing alongside Duncan Macrae and Fulton MacKay. Thereafter she became a stalwart at the Gateway Theatre in Edinburgh. She also worked for many years with Jimmy Logan’s variety shows, and made numerous appearances on radio and television. She later taught at the Drama Department of Queen Margaret College in Edinburgh, directing a number of their productions. The Gateway was gifted to the Church of Scotland by local businessman A.G. Anderson in 1944. Under the stewardship of director Rev George Candlish and manager Sadie Aitken it was officially opened as a theatre in October 1946 showing films and inviting companies such as Perth Theatre, Dundee Rep, Glasgow Citizens, and the Scottish National Players to visit.
