"The Biko Inquest"

A poster published by the May 1st Mobilization Committee to advertise performances of The Biko Inquest, a documentary play by John Blair and Norman Fenton. The production was based on an inquest held after the death of South African Steve Biko while in police custody in 1977.

Directed by David Carnegie, it was performed presumably by BATS Theatre. The play was chosen for its portrayal of South African apartheid in order support the Stop the '81 Tour campaign.

Despite public unrest and international pressure, the 1981 Springbok Tour began later that year as planned.
