Best known for his pioneering Quatermass stories and harrowing adaptation of George OrweII's Nineteen Eighty Four, as welI as Iater TV triumphs like The Stone Tape and The Woman in BIack, NigeI KneaIe is wideIy regarded as one of Britain's greatest scriptwriters. Making his name at the BBC in the 1950s, he subsequently wrote acclaimed dramas for lTV over the foIlowing decades of which three are presented here.
The pIays on this set showcase some of Kneale's most enduring themes: a deep sympathy for the pIight 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 nuclear catastrophe in London; MaxwelI Shaw, Anthony Bushell and Peter BowIes are among his co-stars.
LADlES' NlGHT is a chiIling story of misogyny as members of a gentIemen's cIub turn on a woman who ridicuIes them; a strong cast incIudes AIfred Burke, Ronald Pickup and Bryan PringIe.
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 themseIves drawn into the aftermath of an armed robbery. |
