Meet John WTO

When the members of the World Trade Organisation convened in Seattle in 1999, most people knew there were going to be arrests made. But nobody figured there would be a play written. Dan McHale, a self-described New York Times-reading mild-mannered liberal, was one of the 600 people arrested for protesting during the conference. When he got out of jail, he got out his pen and wrote about it. 'Meet John WTO' is a one-man show reflecting on how one man goes from drawing cartoons for an ad agency to battling teargas and baton-wielding cops as part of a human barricade.
