Tony will be talking about his life in politics and what he thinks about the recent changes in the Labour party. Expect an evening of frank responses and entertaining political anecdotes.
“I think people are fed up with sound bites, spin, sensation and scandal from politicians. What people really want is a chance to discuss issues that affect all our lives, the things that really matter, and that we have a discussion in a sensible uninterrupted and civilised manner” says Tony Benn
As Britain’s longest-serving Labour MP and former Cabinet Minister, Tony has over 50 years experience of people, politics and power. Benn's reputation for speaking his mind has won him a receptive and enthusiastic audience around the country.
Tony added: “A theatre is an excellent venue for this kind of intimate evening and is it is where political debate is really happening today. I get quite excited by this opportunity of bringing politics back to the people, which is probably not a good thing for a man of my age!”
An Evening with Tony Benn will be at the Lichfield Garrick on Tuesday 21 June at 7.30pm. Tickets cost £15.50, and can be booked from www.lichfieldgarrick.com or by calling the Box Office on 01543 412121.
