An Evening with Tony Benn
The veteran Labour
politician Tony Benn comes to Broxbourne Civic Hall on Thursday 19
June at 7.30pm to talk about his life in politics and what he
thinks about the changes in the Labour party.
The audience should expect an evening of frank responses and
entertaining political anecdotes. This is a sequel to his original
theatre tour that sold out in Broxbourne in 2002.
“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 we have a discussion in a sensible uninterrupted and
civilised manner” says Benn adding “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!” he laughs.
