Karaoke & Cold Lazarus by Dennis Potter
Two Dennis Potter television screenplays. In "Karaoke", a dying writer more than half-imagines that something he has written has escaped into the world outside. "Cold Lazarus" is set 400 years in the future, where a cryogenically preserved head is being commercially exploited.
Dennis Potter was born in 1935 in Gloucestershire. After National Service he won a place at New College, Oxford where he read Philosophy, Politics and Economics. He became one of Britain's most accomplished and acclaimed dramatists. His plays for television include Blue Remembered Hills (1979), Brimstone and Treacle (commissioned in 1975 but banned until 1987), the series Pennies from Heaven (1978), The Singing Detective (1986), Blackeyes (1989) and Lipstick on Your Collar (1993). He also wrote novels, stage plays and screenplays. Seeing the Blossom, his final television interview, was published in 1994. He died in June 1994.
