7:84
7:84 was a Scottish left-wing agitprop theatre group. The name comes from a statistic, published in ''The Economist'' in 1966, that 7% of the population of the UK owned 84% of the country's wealth (compare the Pareto principle).
The group was originally founded by playwright John McGrath, his wife Elizabeth MacLennan and her brother David MacLennan in 1971, and operated throughout Great Britain. In 1973, it split into 7:84 (England) and 7:84 (Scotland). The English group folded in 1984, having lost its grant from the Arts Council of Great Britain.〔(BBC NEWS | Scotland | Funding axed for theatre company )〕 The Scottish group lost its funding from the Scottish Arts Council in 2006, though Artistic Director Lorenzo Mele successfully secured funding for a further year from April 2007.〔(BBC NEWS | UK | Scotland | Glasgow and West | Reprieve for 7:84 theatre company )〕 He subsequently commissioned a series of four plays, ''Wound'' by Nicola McCartney, ''Eclipse'' by Haresh Sharma, ''A Time To Go'' by Selma Dimitrijevic, and ''Doch-An-Doris (A Parting Drink)'' by Linda McLean. Together, these short plays formed ''Re:Union'', a production which toured Scotland in early 2007. This was followed in September 2007 by Raman Mundair's ''The Algebra of Freedom'', which also toured extensively throughout Scotland. This production was directed by 7:84's Associate Director, Jo Ronan, and designed by David Sneddon.
On 31 December 2008, the Scottish company ceased trading, citing "the changing funding structures in Scottish theatre."〔Announcement posted at http://www.784theatre.co.uk/. Cached page available http://www.webcitation.org/5pnoU9luB〕
