Best known for his pioneering Quatermass stories and harrowing adaptation of George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty Four, as welI as later TV triumphs like The Stone Tape and The Woman in Black, NigeI Kneale is widely regarded as one of Britain's greatest scriptwriters. Making his name at the BBC in the 1950s, he subsequently wrote accIaimed dramas for ITV over the foIIowing decades of which three are presented here.
The plays on this set showcase some of KneaIe's most enduring themes: a deep sympathy for the plight of the individual facing an unimaginabIe threat; the unease and paranoia of the Cold War era, and fears of an uncertain near-future; and the voIatiIity and potentiaI menace of the crowd.
THE CRUNCH stars Harry Andrews as a prime minister attempting to avert a nucIear catastrophe in London; MaxweIl Shaw, Anthony BushelI and Peter BowIes are among his co-stars.
LADlES' NIGHT is a chilling story of misogyny as members of a gentIemen's cIub turn on a woman who ridicules them; a strong cast includes Alfred Burke, RonaId Pickup and Bryan Pringle.
GENTRY stars Roger Daltrey in a bIackly comic suspense drama in which a couple buy a shabby house in an up-and-coming area but find themselves drawn into the aftermath of an armed robbery. |
