Cwmni theatr agitprop ac asgell chwith o'r Alban oedd Cwmni Theatr 7:84 neu 7.84. Daw'r enw o ystadegyn ar ddosbarthiad cyfoeth yn Y Deyrnas Unedig, a gyhoeddwyd yn The Economist ym 1966, a ddangosodd bod 7% o boblogaeth y DU yn berchen ar 84% o gyfoeth y wlad. Bu'r cwmni yn ysbrydoliaeth i sefydlu Theatr Antur yng Nghymru, ac yn y pen draw, cwmnïau theatr eraill megis Theatr Ddiethr, Theatr yr Ymylon a Theatr Bara Caws.

[golygu | golygu cod]Sefydlwyd y grŵp neu'r cwmni ym 1971 gan y dramodydd John McGrath, ei wraig Elizabeth MacLennan a'i brawd David MacLennan, ac roedd yn teithio ledled Prydain Fawr.[1] Ym 1973, rhannodd y cwmni i greu 7:84 (Lloegr) a 7:84 (Yr Alban). Methodd y cwmni Seisnig ym 1984, ar ôl colli ei grant gan Gyngor Celfyddydau Prydain Fawr.[2] Ymunodd Jo Beddoe â'r grŵp Albanaidd fel cynhyrchydd ym 1988 tan 1992;[3] fodd bynnag, collodd y cwmni Albanaidd ei chyllid gan Gyngor Celfyddydau'r Alban yn 2006, er i'r Cyfarwyddwr Artistig Lorenzo Mele lwyddo i sicrhau cyllid am flwyddyn arall o fis Ebrill 2007.[4] Wedi hynny, comisiynwyd cyfres o bedair drama, a deithiwyd o dan yr enw Re:Union, ddechrau 2007. Dilynwyd hyn ym mis Medi 2007 gan The Algebra of Freedom gan Raman Mundair, a deithiodd yn helaeth hefyd ledled yr Alban.
Daeth y cwmni i ben yn 2008.
