David Edgar
Interviews with him on the radio here and play back here of PLAYING WITH FIRE and SOMETHING WRONG ABOUT THE MOUTH but only for one week, more to come – so if you are reading this in the archives it will link to other plays!
He has written (from British Council):
“With millions of others, I saw in the world-wide youth revolt of 1968 the prospect of a world without poverty, exploitation and war, and the possibility of my generation bringing that utopia about. In a considerably but not entirely revised form, that belief has informed everything I have written for the theatre since. The politics of the late 1960s involved much conjuration; it will take another and even stronger kind of sorcery to reverse the backlash against its ideals. But for me, making magic real is what it’s always been about.”
