Edgware Road Blues is a play by Leonard Kingston (1930- 2014)[].

The original text

It was performed as Edgware Road Blues in 1966 at the Royal Court theatre in London with the author playing the lead and it won the Charles Henry Foyle award for the best first play of 1964.

In 1965, retitled Travelling Light, it had a successful run at the Prince of Wales theatre, London, with a cast including Harry H Corbett, Michael Crawford and Julia Foster, and in 1967 was filmed for ITV Summer Playhouse.

The latter play is not to be confused with another play called Travelling Light, written by Nicholas Wright and performed in London in 2012.
