RRP: £19.99.
You Save: £11.50
Creator of some of the most outstanding television plays made in the last
fifty years, Nigel Kneale (Quatermass, Nineteen Eighty-Four, The Year of the Sex
Olympics) created, in Beasts, an anthology of six plays designed to showcase the
breadth of his fertile imagination. Laden with suspense, drama and a thick vein
of black humour, each play was a variation on the theme of civilised man in
conflict with the primal, animal side of existence. This malevolent and menacing
thread runs through all six terrifying stories, which feature outstanding
performances from actors such as Martin Shaw (Judge John Deed), Simon
MacCorkindale (Casualty), Glyn Houston (Inspector Morse), Michael Sheard (Grange
Hill) and Pauline Quirke (Birds of a Feather).
Not seen since its original transmission and never previously released in any
format, Beasts will appeal to all lovers of quality drama and horror.
