The Tricycle Theatre has a long established reputation for its high quality tribuneral plays (the Lawrence Enquiry, the Nuremberg Trials, the Hutton Enquiry).
Earlier this year two leading barristers: Philippe Sands QC (for the prosecution) and Julian Knowles (for the defence) tested the evidence of the grounds for an indictment of the British Prime Minister for the crime of aggression against Iraq. They examined a number of distinguished witnesses, including Members of Parliament, diplomats, international lawyers, civil servants, United Nations officials, policy advisors, Intelligence experts and journalists.
The arguments and testimony gathered have been edited into a play by Richard Norton-Taylor which will examine the criminal implications of the British Government’s decision to use force against Iraq, and allow you, the audience, to decide whether an indictment in this case is proven.
Pre- theatre drinks and refreshments with the director Nicholas Kent
Cost: £50 (inc £10 donation to the Tricycle Education Programme)

Rambert Dance Company returns to Sadler's Wells with a breathtaking programme of four diverse works, which brilliantly demonstrates why it remains at the forefront of modern dance. Its dancers are the athletes of the theatre, equally capable of thrilling you with their incredible skill or sending a shiver of emotion down your spine.
Continuing its 80-year tradition of mixing innovation with works from its illustrious past, this season the Company is delighted to present the world premiere of a brand new work by Karole Armitage, and the London premiere of a new work by Canadian choreographer Andre Gingras, featuring his trademark breakneck, athletic movement and acid post-modern wit.
“In 30 years of watching Rambert, I cannot remember the company looking better ”
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH
The critically acclaimed Pond Way can be described as another of Cunningham’s ‘nature studies’. It is a lyrical, contemplative, often sensuous piece with the movement, according to Cunningham, being reminiscent of the game of skimming stones over a pond, which he loved to play as a child. Pond Way’s fluid environment is further emphasised by Brian Eno’s music and Roy Lichtenstein’s water/landscape inspired backdrop.
Meet: 7.10pm for 7.30pm performance
Tickets centre of stalls: £59 (includes programme & interval drinks)

ABOUT OUR EVENTS
The ExecEvents Club prides itself on offering a diverse calendar of stylish Social Events, Cultural Events, Singles Events and VIP Events throughout the year. We work with the top sporting venues, cultural institutions, restaurants and clubs to ensure our members benefit from an interesting and enjoyable range of events.
We schedule approximately 4-5 events a month - most in the evening but also some during the day. In a typical month there will be one or two cultural and special interest events, a sporting activity (seasonal), one gastropub style dinner party and one more formal one, regular drinks parties, walks, debates, wine tastings and so on. We also organise 2 or 3 weekend trips a year, both abroad and in the UK.
The diary is constantly being updated as events become available so it is worth checking out each month's activities on a regular basis.
