The Thwarting of Baron Bolligrew by Robert Bolt
A tale of long ago, when dragons were still common. The Duke and his Knights, having slain the last dragon in the Dukedom, are looking forward to a nice period of inactivity. Sir Oblong Fitz Oblong, however, declares they must go elsewhere to do further good works. To avoid this, he is sent on a one man mission to overcome the dragon in the Bolligrew Islands. There he meets the wicked 15th Baron and his blundering Squire Blackheart and others. After passing through many fantastic adventures, he at last encounters the Dragon.-21 menRobert Bolt (1924-1995) was regarded as one of his generation's most successful British novelists. Bolt was an English dramatist who graduated from Manchester University with a degree in history in 1949 and planned to teach after serving in the Royal Air Force. Bolt became a full-time playwright after the phenomenal success of his first play, Flowering Cherry (performed in 1957/1958). A Man for All Seasons (performed in 1960) was Robert Bolt's most successful play, winning five Tony Awards and starring Paul Scofield on Broadway. The film adaptation was written by Bolt himself and directed by Fred Zinnemann in 1966. The film was nominated for six Academy Awards, including one for Best Writing.
