Help me out here...

I've just come home from seeing Patrick Marber's After Miss Julie. I reckon the thing should be called After Trevor Griffiths!! I've been racking my brain... What does it remind me of?

I'm pretty sure it's one of those BBC play-for-today style shows. But I'm also pretty sure the thing I'm thinking of was shot on film rather than in some dinky video studio setting.

Anyway, After Miss Julie was originally written for television in the mid 1990s and was only performed live quite recently. Within the last three or four years. But the Trevor Griffiths thing -- which is also set on or about the election night in England in 1945 which saw Churchill replaced by his Labour opponent (and wartime coalition deputy) Clement Attlee -- is a decade and a half older... at least.

Any LaTrobe students reading? Anyone doing Modern British Political?! Help me out here! Is it Country? And was Country written (like so much middle period Griffiths) specifically for screen? Or was it adapted from one of his plays...

Yes it's 'Country'. IMDB says it was a stage play first. That sounds wrong to me.
