Oh the 60s. What a decade it was. 7 Important Things explores this illustrious decade, and the ones that follow, through the life of George Acheson, also performer, collaborator and writer. As a teenager in the 60s, he defied the traditional ways of his family, followed the hippie movement and as a result got kicked out of his home by his father. The years that follow prove difficult as he struggles to fight the status quo in an ever growing capitalist society. Written, performed and directed by Nadia Ross and brought to us by STO Union and the National Arts Centre English Theatre co-production association with W.A.C., 7 Important things is an unusual dramaturgy that combines narration, improvised discussions and enactments.
