Dennis Potter by Peter Stead
The experimental Dennis Potter is generally regarded as Britain's outstanding television playwright. His play, The Singing Detective, is frequently broadcast to American audiences on public television. The film adaptation of the play is currently in production. Seldom less than controversial, Potter's work has often been misunderstood. In England, its wider commentary and message have often been lost beneath a sometimes hysterical response to part of its content. In this first critical study, Stead reviews all of Potter's plays, with reference to his novels as well, providing a much needed critical work explaining Potter's unique literary achievements.
