SELL OUT IN WATLINGTON, NOW FOCUS MOVES TO WINDSOR GUILDHALL!
We closed out Watlington performances with full house on Saturday 13 June in the historic Town Hall, with wide-ranging interesting discussions both evenings there among our audiences and panelists.
As many of our panelists and audience members have commented on the close association between the themes of Regulation 18B-No Free Man and key principles of Magna Carta, our next city (Windsor on 26-27 June) has key importance to the play, this month being the 800th anniversary celebration of Magna Carta, and those celebrations being centered in nearby Runnymede.

Play Off to a Fantastic Start!
Panelists and audience members are calling Regulation 18B-No Free Man a "Moving and Powerful" play, "A Must See," with themes so "Relevant" to issues being faced in the UK today. Many audience members have expressed surprise, as they expected a courtroom drama or scenes from the House of Lords, but instead are drawn in by a "gripping" drama which is "intense," "personal," and "intimate."

First US Media Coverage on Play
This week, Regulation 18B-No Free Man was the front page feature story in the March 30, 2015 edition of Minnesota Lawyer, with a full two-pages inside devoted to the play and its background. It headlined as BRITISH DRAMA: LAWYER'S PLAY EXAMINES WWII DETENTION. The article, by Barbara Jones, opens with a great line: "It took 16 years for Scott Wright to become an overnight success as a playwright."
