SYNOPSIS

Hang On a Minute addressed issues topical to the political landscape of the period – many of which are still urgent today, from Greenham Common to domestic violence – with formal ingenuity, wit and contained but steel-edged anger at injustice. Here language unrolls across the screen in the form of statistics, newsprint, legal document, poetry, prose and hand-written words; it is spoken, sung and recited.
