Blue Remembered Hills

Blue Remembered Hills, by Dennis Potter (1935-1994). Although Potter only produced one play exclusively for theatrical performance, he adapted several of his television works for the stage. The play text for Blue Remembered Hills was first published in the collection Waiting for the Boat in 1984 and has since enjoyed several successful stage performances.

Potter's work is distinctive for its use of non-naturalistic devices. Works where "the child is father to the man", in which he used adult actors to play children (Stand Up, Nigel Barton; Blue Remembered Hills) have become Potter trademarks.(Source: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
