Interesting point you make about Trevor Griffiths’ play. I was put in mind of the scene you mentioned when the Jerry Sadowitz controversy came up last summer. Whatever one’s views on the content of his act, he’s probably the only comic working in the way depicted through the Gethin Price character. I was fortunate enough to see the play in the 70s, with Gethin Price played by a young (and brilliant) Jonathan Pryce. What a journey he has made, from in-your-face angry alt comic to HRH Duke of Edinburgh!
Why does film get stand-up so wrong?
Don't get me started on dramatic depictions of journalists. Loved this piece.
