Dennis Potter Libri
Dennis Potter fu un drammaturgo inglese le cui opere fondevano spesso fantasia e realtà, il personale e il sociale. Era rinomato per il suo stile distintivo, che incorporava frequentemente elementi della cultura popolare e della musica per aumentare la tensione drammatica. Le opere di Potter furono caratterizzate dalla sperimentazione con dispositivi drammatici come la rottura della quarta parete e l'uso di attori adulti per interpretare bambini. Il suo lavoro, spesso basato su esperienze personali e temi sociali, ha lasciato un segno indelebile nel dramma televisivo britannico.

If one writer embodies the unique character of British television drama, it is Dennis Potter.

The book presents a remarkable portrait of a man for whom writing is, first and foremost, a vocation.
