Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 F 7377 POLITI 58^S8i ABSTRACT The British left has confronted a dilemma in forming its attitude towards Israel in the postwar period. The establishment of the Jewish state seemed to force people on the left to choose between competing nationalisms - Israeli, Arab and later, Palestinian. Over time, a number of key developments sharpened the dilemma. My central focus is the evolution of thinking about Israel and the Middle East in the British Labour Party. I examine four critical periods: the creation of Israel in 1948; the Suez war in 1956; the Arab-Israeli war of 1967 and the 1980s, covering mainly the Israeli invasion of Lebanon but also the intifada. In each case, entrenched attitudes were called into question and longer-term shifts were triggered in the aftermath.

  • Dario Fo, the Accidental Death of an Anarchist
    Dario Fo, The Accidental Death of an Anarchist 1997 Nobel Laureate in Literature Accidental Death of an Anarchist was a reaction to the arrest of anarchist railway man Giuseppi Pinelli. On December 12, 1969 a bomb went off in the Agricultural Bank in Milan killing 17 people and wounding 100. Immediately after the bombing fascists of the Italian Social Movement (MSI) distributed leaflets denouncing the 'red terror' and police in Milan went into action, sweeping up a number of socialist, communist and anarchist activists. One of these was Pinelli, well known as a pacifist opposed to individual acts of violence. After four days of interrogation in police headquarters Pinelli 'fell' out of a fourth floor and died. Police claimed that the death was an 'accident'. These events sent a shock wave throughout Italy. There were demonstrations, articles in the press, inquires, etc. In 1971, the policemen in charge of the investigation, Calabresi, was charged with manslaughter. Calabresi, in turn, launched a lawsuit against Lotta Continua, the newspaper that had exposed many of the inconstancies in the police version of events. These came to an end in May on 1972 when Calabresi was assassinated in front of his house by 'unknown assailants.' Ten years later in Catanzaro, 1 three fascists were convicted of the Milan bombings. One of them, Giannettini turned out to be a paid informer for the Italian police. Dario Fo, working in Milan with the Capannone of Via Colletta, wrote the play in 1970 and it toured Italy playing to audiences totaling more than a million. It caused a sensation itself, creating a storm of controversy in the press, bomb threats to the theatres, etc.

  • Harold Pinter, 1971. Photo: Henri Cartier- Bresson / Magnum Photos
    Harold Pinter, 1971. Photo: Henri Cartier- Bresson / Magnum Photos Downloaded from http://read.dukeupress.edu/theater/article-pdf/36/2/1/477999/Theater362_01_UpFront.pdf by guest on 26 September 2021 Up Front Pinter’s Nobel Truth As we prepared this issue focused on Elfriede Jelinek, the novelist, playwright, and winner of the 2004 Nobel Prize for Literature, news came that Harold Pinter had won the 2005 award. The announcement added Pinter’s name to a list of authors rais- ing the strongest possible voices of political dissent in their respective countries. Like Jelinek, Dario Fo, Gao Xingjian, Wole Soyinka, and other playwright-novelists who have received the prize in recent years, Pinter has expressed for decades an underlying commitment to social justice, freedom of expression, human rights, and resistance to authoritarian regimes. Although the academy’s official citation made minimal mention of Pinter’s polem- ics, observers wondered whether Stockholm intended to endorse his timely denuncia- tions of American and British foreign policy. Pinter shaped his dramaturgy of psy- chological menace and staccato utterances in the 1950s and 1960s and has not deviated much from it since. But over the past two decades, the author has forged a second métier as a human rights campaigner and political firebrand. In Britain he regularly appears at demonstrations and contributes to newspaper opinion pages. In 1985, Pinter and Arthur Miller investigated the Turkish military dictatorship’s alleged persecution of writers on behalf of International P.E.N. The author has advocated for the rights of Kurds in Turkey (calling that government’s policies “genocide” and dramatizing the persecution in his play Mountain Language).

  • Lunch by Steven Berkoff Premiering July 9, 2021 7:30PM Streaming July 9-13, 2021
    Lunch by Steven Berkoff Premiering July 9, 2021 7:30PM Streaming July 9-13, 2021 Lunch By Steven Berkoff Directed by Richard Romagnoli Man Bill Army* Woman Jackie Sanders* A bench by the seaside. The present day. * member of Actors’ Equity Association, the union of professional Actors and Stage Managers 2 A Note from the Director: LUNCH is a terse, scabrous, poetic dance between A Man and A Woman. The text provides only spare biographies, enough to tweak our interest and lead to endless speculation. Do the characters have a shared history? Are they a couple? Is their encounter a contrivance, a fantasy with unanticipated consequences? Do they really know Prufrock? The production only explores these questions. In a brief 40 minutes Berkoff presents characters in mid-life, stepping out of their familiar routines to passionately and humorously engage the other in what critic Aleks Sierz has correctly named, “in-yer-face theatre,” describing certain young British writers of the ‘90’s and the millennium. Berkoff can certainly be considered one of the progenitors of this style. This is as bare knuckled as “in-yer- face” gets or --as PTP once described its work --“I only laugh when it hurts”. Hope you enjoy. Steven Berkoff was born in Stepney, London. After studying drama and mime in London and Paris, he entered a series of repertory companies and in 1968 formed the London Theatre Group. His plays and adaptations have been performed in many countries and in many languages. Among the many adaptations Berkoff has created for the stage, directed and toured, are Kafka’s Metamorphosis and The Trial, Agamemnon, and Poe’s The Fall of the House of Usher.

  • Western Europe
    Western Europe Great Britain National Affairs J. HE GOVERNMENT SHOWED surprising stability in 1985, despite the continuing economic slowdown, labor difficulties, and growing racial unrest. The strike by the National Union of Mineworkers, which had begun in March 1984, ended a year later with the workers agreeing to accept reduced terms and the government going ahead with its program of pit closures. Another indicator of weakening trade-union strength was an abortive strike in August by the National Union of Railwaymen, whose protest failed to halt the introduction of driver-only trains. Elsewhere on the labor front, a breakdown in teachers' pay talks in February was followed in July by strikes, which continued with growing intensity during the autumn. Unemployment in Britain remained at around 3.4 million during the year, some 14 percent of the labor force. On the economic front, the year began with the pound at a record low of $1.1587. When it plunged to below $1.10 in February, interest rates were raised from 12 to 14 percent, which helped stem the decline. Racism and Anti-Semitism Racial and social tensions in British society erupted in violence on several occa- sions during the year. In September police in riot gear battled black youths in Handsworth (Birmingham) and Brixton (London); in October a policeman was stabbed to death in an outbreak in Tottenham in which, for the first time, rioters fired shots at police. The number of police and civilians injured in riots during the year reached 254. Right-wing National Front (NF) members were increasingly implicated in vio- lence at soccer matches.
