Alan Clarke (The Television Series)

198pp.  Laminated stiff card covers.  8vo.  Gentle edge wear to card covers else neat, clean, bright and tight throughout. The British television director Alan Clarke is associated primarily with the visceral social realism of his banned borstal play, Scum and his football hooligan study, The Firm, but this book of his life uncovers the poetic and wide-ranging career beneath his violent stereotype, his early career in theatre and his contribution to the development f the studio system for provocative television plays.
