Description

Ted Whitehead: Four Plays This collection brings together four plays by Ted Whitehead, a playwright whose work explores the complexities of human relationships and societal expectations. The Foursome, Alpha Beta, The Sea Anchor, and The Punishment are all notable for their thought-provoking examination of conflict and authority. Whitehead's early play, The Foursome, premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in 1971 and went on to win several awards, including the George Devine Award. His subsequent plays, Alpha Beta and The Sea Anchor, were also widely produced and helped establish him as an international playwright. The Punishment, a one-act play shown live on BBC2 in 1972, offers a powerful commentary on authority and corruption. This edition of Ted Whitehead's four plays provides a valuable insight into the work of a playwright whose writing continues to be relevant today.
