R.I.P., R.P.
In the late '70s, when I was in high school, I saw a production of Kennedy's Children at the Penn State/Behrend theatre. After the show the playwright, a hippie longhair type in bib overalls named Robert Patrick...
...gave a Q&A about life in New York's Off-Off-Broadway Theatre scene, of which he was a co-founder; he wrote prolifically for Caffe Cino and LaMama and other celebrated venues of the period. Kennedy's Children was his most famous play, premiering in London before opening on Broadway in 1975, where it won a Tony for star Shirley Knight.
I was already something of a theatre geek, but Patrick's talk made a big impression on me about the possibilities for doing theatre outside the mainstream, even though I didn't have the nerve to ask him a single question. A few years later, in the '80s, I was assistant director of another production of Kennedy's Children, and also appeared in it.
Decades after that, in mid-2021, I connected with Robert over Facebook. He was in his '80s and lived in L.A., in poverty, I think, but also in seemingly immense good cheer, still socializing, still walking and photographing his neighborhood, still performing with underground groups...
...and most certainly still writing. He seemed to devote himself mostly to pouring out poetry--witty, urbane, sophisticated, classically learned, allusive, ruefully romantic, gloriously rhymed poetry, posting large amounts of it almost every day. Sometimes he would post five or six poems at once, under the heading "Who Left the Poet On?"
The best of this stuff was, to me, stirringly beautiful, but as far as I know he never submitted it for publication, though I doubt I was the only person who urged him to. He was probably right that his style was too out of fashion for most bigtime rags these days, but I hoped that maybe his illustrious status as both a New York icon and a gay icon might persuade some of the big mags to make an exception and publish some poetry that was actually, you know, good.
In any case, I regularly commented and messaged Robert in the most effusive manner--quite sincerely, mind you; he may have been my favorite living American poet. And then, alas, Sunday I was jolted to learn that he was no longer a living American poet. He had a date for coffee with a friend, and when he didn't show the friend had the police do a welfare check on his apartment. They found that he had died in his sleep, at 85.
I'm more rattled by this passing than I would have expected. I realized that I had, for the last couple of years, nursed the daydream that I would stage Kennedy's Children or one of his other plays here in the Valley somewhere, and bring him out here to soak up some well-earned adulation. Like so many projects I think of, I wish I'd jumped on it a little sooner.
I can't claim that I really knew him, of course, but I spent a long time last night going through the many lengthy online chats I was lucky enough to have with him, discussing everything from the poetry of Catullus to the Oscars. I sent him a few of my own poems, about which he invariably gushed and even kindly posted a couple of them on his own page.
The Thursday before Easter I sent him a poem of mine called "A Prayer for Maundy Thursday," and on April 12 he wrote back to say that he read it ten times and found it "...more frightening with each reading. What a brave poem." I'm choosing to take that as praise; in any case the idea that Robert Patrick saw fit to read anything by me once, let alone ten times, is quite an If My 18 Year Old Self Could See Me Now sort of moment.
He then asked me if I had ever heard the story that Dante's neighbors called him "the man who's been to Hell." I replied that I hadn't heard that, and he asked "Do you think Milton's neighbors whispered about his trip to Eden?" This was his last message to me; I messaged that maybe Milton's neighbors thought that's why he was blind, but he never replied.
R.I.P., and peace and joy eternal on your own travels sir. Thank you for the encouragement, the example and all that abundant, exquisite verse.

Sad passing of a gay theatre pioneer. Wish I had an opportunity to meet him.
NYTimes: “(The Haunted Host) was so much before its time,” Mr. Fierstein said in a phone interview. “Here you have a play where the strange person, the bizarre person, the person who was the antagonist, was the heterosexual. The normal person, the one with real emotion and real love, was the gay character. We forget our history, and now we have people who want to erase our history. This is why Robert’s work is so important.”
(Times) For a while, Mr. Patrick was known, perhaps a bit hyperbolically, as the world’s most produced playwright, with his work performed at small theaters in Minneapolis, Toronto, Vienna, Brazil and New Zealand, often all at the same time. In 1978, The Minneapolis Star Tribune reported, “Certain works, such as ‘Kennedy’s Children’ and ‘Camera Obscura,’ are quite probably being done somewhere every day of the year.”
In 2014, Henrik Eger of The Seattle Gay News asked Mr. Patrick if there was anything he hadn’t yet done but wished he had.
“True love,” he said. “And I would like to have the money to build or buy a theater in L.A. with enough ground space that I could call it Robert Patrick’s Free Parking Theater, because in L.A. the theater would fill up for every performance no matter what show was on, just because of the magic words ‘Free Parking.’ Then I could do whatever plays I liked.”

Scottish Playwright, writer and Artist John Patrick Byrne was on January 6th 1940 in Paisley.
John Byrne where he grew up in the Ferguslie Park housing scheme and was educated at the town’s St Mirin’s Academy before attending Glasgow School of Art, where he excelled. In his final year he was awarded the Bellahousten Award, the school’s most prestigious painting prize, and spent six months in Italy, returning a masterful and confident young artist. His work is held in major collections in Scotland and abroad.
Several of his paintings have hang in The Scottish National Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh, the Museum of Modern Art and the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow. In 2007 he was made a full member of the Royal Scottish Academy and is an Honorary Fellow of the GSA, the RIAS, an Honorary Member of the RGI and has Honorary Doctorates from the universities of Paisley, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Strathclyde.
It was by no means an overnight success for Byrne, he was making a living designing book covers for publishers Penguin before recognition, Byrne has also designed record covers for Donovan, The Beatles, Gerry Rafferty, Billy Connolly, and The Humblebums as well as illustrations for the renowned Scottish writer James Kelman.
As well as his artwork Byrne was an accomplished writer perhaps best known as the writer of The Slab Boys Trilogy of plays which explore working-class life in Scotland, and of the excellent TV dramas Tutti Frutti and Your Cheating Heart.
In 2018 Byrne was named Scotland’s most stylish man at the age of 78 at the Scottish Style Awards in Glasgow, beating Outlander star Sam Heughan to the coveted most stylish male title, which was previously won by Richard Jobson, Robert Carlyle, James McAvoy and Paolo Nutini. Byrne, a good friend of comic, Billy Connolly Byrne said at the time he was shocked at the award saying “I dress like a tramp”.
The highlights the quintessential Scottishness of Byrne’s work, and his enduring humour and his focus on the frailty of human experience often lived on the edge of working-class communities. It is a richly rewarding show which underscores r give John Byrne a rightful place as one of Scotland’s finest and most prolific artists.
His most recent work has been murals - one for the ceiling of the King's Theatre in Edinburgh and another in Glasgow to mark the 75th birthday of his friend Billy Connolly.
During lockdown he worked with Pitlochry Festival Theatre to create a new play which was produced and performed remotely.
He and his wife Jeanine also collaborated on a children's book, Donald and Benoit.
Everything he did was drenched in colour. Without him, the world feels a less colourful place.
John Byrne passed away on Thursday November 30th aged 83.
Everything he did was drenched in colour. Without him, Scotland and the world feels a less colourful place.

I am extremely interested in your draft/post about Downton Abbey and the timeline 👀
Important disclaimer: I was never in the fandom of the series, so I'm completely ignorant as to word of god and fanon, and might have forgotten some details of the plot as the years have passed since I watched.
*video essay voice* (bear with me) in 1980, British playwright Peter Flannery, while watching rehearsals for Henry IV, felt inspired to write his own historical epic, a Shakespearean sort of short History of his native Newcastle from the 60s to the present, interweaving the personal History of 4 "friends" with the big historical events of Britain through those years, to create a strong political narrative through them, but that was life-like enough in its everyday life details and turns as to feel real. The characters deal with their desire to change the world, achieve success, recognition, or even just survive, and experience hope and hopelessness by turns*
This theater play, called Our Friends in the North, caught the eye of the BBC, and after several back-and-forths it was adapted into 9 episodes in 1996. It was a big bet (it cost 8 million pounds to produce) and a big hit, and I do get the gut feeling that in some corner, the first season of Downton is inspired in OFITN as a concept, a sort of Our Freenemies in Yorkshire, but that its own success derailed it into a different direction, and made it Edwardian-Roaring 20s Aristofairytaleland, the same way Regency Romance tends to take place on a Regency Fairytale land full of dukes and none of the social, economical and political problems of the time.
S1 of DA hinges around the "Death of the old world" theme: it opens with its first marker (the sinking of the Titanic) and closes with the last marker (the beginning of the Great War). The central plot is that of the survival of Downton as a place and an institution -the kickstart is the death of James and Patrick aboard the Titanic, and the next heir presumptive being a middle class lawyer, an outsider to the aristocracy. The old, dying aristocracy, managed to patch up their situation by marrying rich American heiresses, like Cora, but it doesn't have any vitality for the future: the heir (Robert and Cora's son) is born dead. The question then is "can the aristocracy make a bridge with the raising professional middle class, merge with it in order to gain new life?" that's what Matthew's plotline this season is all about, specially in his growing and changing relationship with Robert and Mary (who are the epitome representatives of the aristocracy, with lady Violet): there is a small seed of aspiration that grows through the season, but gets quashed once he realizes that as much as he has grown to care for the Crowleys, they haven't really grown to care for him as anything but an uncomfortable necessity. And so he leaves. And the Great War begins. No compromise can be reached, the old world is dead.
I don't think I say anything controversial when I say that Fellowes and Downton as a series loves Mary with undying devotion; she gets a second chance at Matthew in s2 that she wouldn't have gotten IRL, and she would have kept Matthew forever if the actor didn't want out. And I think Dan Stevens wanting out (and Jessica Brown's to a certain extent), and as much as he can say within the bounds of politeness, has a lot to do with a sense that the series he signed up for was not the series he ended up being in on the follow up seasons. Matthew, who was a central character to the main plot of the series in s1, now gravitates Mary's storylines, because that pressing conflict of the inheritance is solved, and he can be disposed of as soon as he produces a male heir without causing any plot-ripples. A story about Downton the house as anchoring to class conflicts and point of connection with big events becomes a story of Mary and her relatives with Downton as a mainly aesthetic backdrop as s2 progresses (yes, yes, every once in a while some lip service is given to "money troubles" and having to downsize, but it's just... that).
As seasons progress, as well, the historical markers to open and close a season disappear, and so do... general historical events at all. The story gets atomized and more and more separated from History, and "the old world is dying" theme vanishes.
So, now, on this premise (that Downton S1 and Downton s2-6 are different animals, with different core themes and structures) where do I think a true continuation of S1 would have gone?
Mind you, I haven't plotted five series to detail, because I'm not that invested. But also it feels like DA the series itself started running out of plot after s4 anyways, so, in general lines:
The same way OFITN did (episodes were each set on a different year: 64, 66, 67, 70, 74, 79, 84, 87, 95) every series would have a time skip that would tie in with bigger scale events in Britain and the world (the end of the Great War, the Spanish Flu, the crack of 29', etc), and in my mind I would have it cover until the late 1940s: the series begins with a middle aged Robert and Cora, and ends with a middle-aged next generation.
Matthew does actually marry Lavinia, and takes William with him as they bonded in the war, and goes back to his job. They try to keep their distance from Downton, but, of course they keep getting drawn in because of the inheritance.
Matthew's marriage to Lavinia means a vital wake-up call for Mary: she -and by extension the aristocracy- cannot always get what she wants, even though her name and status carry a lot of importance. But she also experiences new freedom because her choice of husband has now no influence on the fate of the estate. I think she'd choose to travel a lot, in ways that would widen her mental horizons and change her feelings and perspective about her family. I even feel like her marrying Henry Talbot in the end makes sense; she remains ever the aristocrat (although I'd think she'd marry later, probably past her mid-30s, a spirit of the new times).
Sybil's storyline remains the same, minus death (in this scheme, the core characters that thread the timeline are the Crawley sisters AND Matthew), but she never returns to Downton to stay, and it is through her and her visits that we do get the perspectives and storylines of the process of independence for Ireland, and her complicated position as wife of an Irish man but daughter of a British earl. You can even get stories in the later years storylines like Marygold trying to run to Ireland and her aunt after WWII breaks.
A similar thing goes for Edith; if Mary is and makes the choice of aristocracy, and Sybil makes the choice of a working class life, then Edith embodies a commercial-professional upper middle class aspiration (in fact, I do think that her punching-bag status in the series has a lot to do with Fellowes derision of that class), so it makes sense for her to do most of the things she does towards her place in life; just cut some of the drama and no sudden marquess nonsense in the end. Edith and Bertie marry and remain successful editors/printers/periodical owners.
As for the house itself, of course Matthew inherits (you could set Robert's death for 1929, and then have a Lavinia inheritance save the estate after Robert's failed investments like it goes in s1). I do think this lends itself to interesting dynamics, specially with the servants, considering the aristocratic head is gone and the Great War significantly changed the self-image of the serving class, plus the return of William now in a much more privileged place; but also with Cora as the new Dowager and Lavinia as the new Lady Grantham. How do the children adapt to their new home and status? How did their parents conduct their upbringing? I think you can do a lot there (I'd assume just two children, a boy and a girl).
I do also think it'd be interesting to contrast the rising tensions in the 30s as Mary perceives them through her continental travels -I can imagine Henry Talbot joining the foreign service and getting at least obliquely involved in spy shenanigans- and Edith through her very localized work.
The Kingsmen movies play with this idea of WWI creating a generation of fathers who buried their sons and had to take their places. The Crawleys escape this by having only daughters, so I think it is fitting for Matthew and Lavinia's son to die in WWII, and for the daughter to become a war bride and move to the US, as the centre of power moves from the UK to the US.
Downton, more and more difficult to maintain as the years pass, cannot survive the economic blow of WWII, and Mathew and Lavinia, now middle aged, don't have the energy and vitality to begin again; and so they make an arrangement with the just-founded National Trust after the war ends: the main part of the house becomes a museum, but they still get a part of it to live in. I think, after a family reunion tea/party to wrap things up, you can have as a symbolic last shot, a close up of Matthew's hand as he turns over the keys to the Downton gates to the National Trust agent, CUT TO BLACK AND THE DOWNTON ABBEY THEME.
So, hm, that's pretty much it. Please do not maul me to death XD
*While I think the series was very well written, I'd hesitate to recommend it here as there was too much explicit nudity and sexual content for my taste and that of many people here. The 2022 radio adaptation seems to be faithful to the original tv series and avoid that problem, but of course you lose on the other visuals that are quite impressive (and believe me, besides some awkward wigs and make up, they really did blow up that 8 million pound budget in many ways).

Lizabeth Scott in The Strange Love of Martha Ivers, 1946
The Strange Love of Martha Ivers is a 1946 American film noir drama directed by Lewis Milestone and starring Barbara Stanwyck, Van Heflin, Lizabeth Scott, and Kirk Douglas in his film debut. It follows a man who is reunited with his childhood friend and her husband; both the childhood friend and her husband believe that the man knows the truth about the mysterious death of the woman's wealthy aunt years prior. The screenplay was written by Robert Rossen (and an uncredited Robert Riskin), adapted from the short story "Love Lies Bleeding" by playwright John Patrick.
Though Milestone is the film's sole credited director, Byron Haskin temporarily took over directorial duties during production while Milestone participated in a Hollywood set decorators' strike, and the film's producer, Hal B. Wallis, also directed reshoots with Milestone's approval.
The Strange Love of Martha Ivers was entered into the 1947 Cannes Film Festival and premiered in London in June 1946, before opening in New York City on July 25, 1946. It received largely favorable reviews from critics, and received an Academy Award nomination for Best Writing, Original Motion Picture Story. In 1974, the film entered the public domain in the United States because the claimants did not renew its copyright registration in the 28th year after publication

Deep in the Heart of Texas
Round 1- Texas Pride
If a man's from Texas, he'll tell you. If he's not, why embarrass him by asking? ~ John Gunther
Today I am going to tell y’all a little bit about my home state, as any Texan, born or naturalized, is bound to do when they are subjected to the grievous insult “What’s so great about Texas?" You might as well have slapped us across the face with your glove! Congratulations my friend, you have now set yourself up for a lifetime subscription to Texas: It’s Wonderful and Here’s Why! 🤣
So, how did all this start? Well, it could be my fault. I was listening to an interview with my favorite fellow Texan (outside of actual family and friends of course) Jaren Lewison. On I'm So Obsessed the interviewer, Patrick Holland, asked him if he preferred Dallas, his hometown or LA, where he is living now. OF COURSE he said Dallas. Holland seems truly baffled and asks him why. "Wait how come?" And Jaren has to explain! He very nicely explains that he is a Texas boy (duh!) It's his home, his friends are there, his family is there, his sports teams are there. IT'S TEXAS, he's a TEXAN. Come on Holland, it is KNOWN.
This was around about 23 minutes. I was highly offended on his behalf and made it known. “How dare he ask a Texan if he prefers somewhere else over Texas!” You just don't DO that!
This inevitably led to questions like “What is the deal with Whataburger? He is obsessed with it." and “What’s so special about Whataburger, why do you Texas like it so much?”. Oh friends, let me tell you, I could do a whole blog just on what is so special about Whataburger, more on that later. Also, why Texas BBQ is superior. Or perhaps why breakfast tacos are the best breakfast cuisine.🤣 no, not breakfast burritos, tacos! 🌮.
At that point it was fairly benign. Re-x left it with an “Oh you Texans and your inexplicable obsession with your home state.” But it grew. This is Re-x now.
youtube
She is always asking me what’s so great about Texas? Why are we so proud of our state? And can you really blame her when you look at the political situation going on there? We’ll get into that too. But this blog is about Texas Pride.
And why do we like football so much! What the hell?
So, let's start with where we get all this pride.
Quite simply, it's bred into us from a young age.
We learn songs like Texas our Texas, Deep in the Heart of Texas and yes, the Yellow Rose of Texas. We say the state pledge in school along with the US pledge. Es la ley. When I was little I got one of those weaving looms for kids. What did I make? A Dallas Cowboy's sweater for my teddy bear. Blue and silver. If you don't want to read all this though, this poem pretty much sums it up.

Local History
When I was a little girl I went to the Fandangle for the first time. It's an outdoor musical put on by the people of Albany, Texas.
The play tells the story of Fort Griffin, an 1867 military post. Below the fort, along the Clear Fork of the Brazos, a a river I grew up swimming in, a town grew. Western Cattle Trail drivers, ranchers, and Buffalo Hunters, cowboys from South Texas all met up there to gamble and drink including Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday.
Look at these cute little performers and tell me you don't believe we learn early to love Texas!
Below are a few more pictures from the Fandangle. The oldest outdoor musical in Texas happens every summer, the last two weeks of June.
The performers are locals, required to live in, own property or have a familial connection Shackleford County.
The creator of the Fandangle, Robert Nail, was a young playwright from the area who attended Princeton University and studied under Thornton Wilder
And of course it wouldn't be complete without the gorgeous Texas Longhorns

Six Flags of Texas
It wasn't just a theme park we went to in the summer. It was an opportunity to teach us about one of the unique things about Texas history. Texas wasn't always under the Lone Star.
Flag 1: The Republic of Texas
"Texas is a state of mind. Texas is an obsession. Above all, Texas is a nation in every sense of the word.. . . A Texan outside of Texas is a foreigner." John Steinbeck
One of the first things we learn about our great state is that once upon a time it was a it's own country! Texas was an independent nation from 1836 to 1845 and was admitted to the Union on December 29, 1845 as a territory, another unique characteristic. The Anglos residing in Texas at that time were referred to as Texians.
The Battle of Gonzales, an October 2nd 1835 skirmish, sparked the Texas Revolution when the Texian colonist in the city refused to give back the small cannon to a detachment of Mexican soldiers. It had been provided to them for protection from Native Americans but they now wanted to use it to protect themselves from General Santa Anna. After that skirmish, the famous "Come and Take It" flag was created by Sarah Seely DeWitt and her daughter, Evaline, from Noami DeWitt's wedding dress. It has become a Hallmark of Texas pride.
The Battle of the Alamo occurred during the Texas Revolution as well. The thirteen day siege took place between February 23 and March 06, 1836 at the Alamo mission in San Antonio, Texas. While the Texians were defeated, it was a turning point in the Revolution. Mexican troops led by Santa Anna reclaimed the Alamo and killed most of the occupants inside. However, Santa Anna's refusal to take prisoners during the battle inspired many Texian immigrants and Tejanos to join the Texian Army. Soon after Texians defeated the Mexican Army at the Battle of San Jacinto, on April 21, 1836.
The defenders of the Alamo came from around 30 different identified states or countries and several were unidentified or uncertain. These include Germany, England, Ireland and Scotland. Tennessee had the largest contingent with 29. Virginia, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Kentucky also had large contingents. And of course, Spanish/Mexican Texas. Some of the casualties of the battle include Davy Crocket of Tennessee who was 49 years old, James Bowie of Virginia who was 40 years old and William B. Travis of South Carolina who who was the 26 year old commander during the siege. While the legend of the line drawn in the sand with his sword is unproven, the Victory or Death letter is certainly not a myth.
Commandancy of the The Alamo
Bejar, Feby. 24th. 1836
To the People of Texas & All Americans in the World-
Fellow Citizens & compatriots-
I am besieged, by a thousand or more of the Mexicans under Santa Anna - I have sustained a continual Bombardment & cannonade for 24 hours & have not lost a man - The enemy has demanded a surrender at discretion, otherwise, the garrison are to be put to the sword, if the fort is taken - I have answered the demand with a cannon shot, & our flag still waves proudly from the walls - I shall never surrender or retreat. Then, I call on you in the name of Liberty, of patriotism & everything dear to the American character, to come to our aid, with all dispatch - The enemy is receiving reinforcements daily & will no doubt increase to three or four thousand in four or five days. If this call is neglected, I am determined to sustain myself as long as possible & die like a soldier who never forgets what is due to his own honor & that of his country - Victory or Death.
William Barret Travis.
Flags 2-5 Spain, France, Mexico, Confederate States, United States
Spanish 1519-1685, French 1685-1690, Spanish 1690-1821, Mexican 1821-1836, United States 1845-1861, Confederate States 1861-1865, United States 1865-present
And yep, that's pretty much how we see it. lol.
But seriously, the history here is pretty fascinating and certainly helps one understand the culture and diversity of Texas. Particularly our Spanish and Mexican heritage. We are not just a state with a large Hispanic population. It is a foundational aspect of our culture. (more on the culture and diversity of Texas later)
But let's talk real quick about that whole, 'Texas can secede" thing. No, Texas cannot secede. It is true that Texas is the only state to enter the United States by treaty instead of territorial annexation and part of that agreement permits division into as many as five states without federal approval. Pretty cool right? But does Texit really have any chance of happening? Texit ain't gonna happen y'all.
But just for fun, here is a clip from Bernie about the 5 different "states" within Texas. No offense to you snobs with your Mercedes up in Dallas from this Liberal fruitcake from the People's Republic of Austin.
youtube
Coming soon: "What's so great about Texas?" including food, art and literature, culture and some general trivia--Did you know the Capital building in Austin is built from Texas granite and is also the largest state capital building in the US? It's beautiful y'all. I know you can't wait...

“‘Fully Committed’ is a show unlike any show our theatergoers may have previously seen,” said Santa Clara Players show director Robert Casillas. “It is unique. It’s a one-person show that includes numerous characters—all created by one actor.” By American playwright Becky Mode, the 90-minute comedy (no intermission) runs May 17 – June 2. It stars Santa Clara native Patrick Idleman as 39 characters. That’s a lot of lines for one person. Read complete news at svvoice.com.

On January 3rd 1888 O H Mavor, known as James Bridie, the physician and prolific playwright, was born.
Born in Glasgow,Osborne Henry Mavor, He took his pen-name from his paternal grandfather’s first name and his grandmother’s maiden name, Mavor studied medicine at the University and graduated in 1913. He threw himself into the social life of Gilmorehill, notably as a contributor to Glasgow University Magazine and as a member of the University Union. Mavor was the man who started the “Daft Friday” event at the university which is still a traditional part of the University Union and features a night of entertainment from performers, some of whom went on to make their name in the entertainment industry, like Billy Connolly and Gerry Rafferty, who, as The Humblebums appeared in 1968.
Bridie served in the First World War in the Royal Army Medical Corps and his later career included spells as a general practitioner, a consulting physician at the Victoria Infirmary and Professor of Medicine at the Anderson College of Medicine, before his increasing success as a dramatist led to his embracing that career full-time.. He was one of the leading British playwrights of his generation, the founder of the Citizens’ Theatre, Glasgow, in 1943, and the first chairman of the Scottish Committee of the Council for the Encouragement of Music and the Arts established in 1942, (subsequently the Scottish Committee of the Arts Council of Great Britain). He was instrumental in the establishment of the College of Dramatic Art in 1950, now part of the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in Glasgow.
Mavor wrote over 40 plays in his lifetime. His first play, ‘The Sunlight Sonata’, presented by the Scottish National Players, directed by Tyrone Guthrie in 1928, followed by The Switchback, and What It Is To Be Young . The Anatomist, produced in 1930, and based on the lives of nineteenth century vivisectionist Dr Robert Knox, and the murderers Burke and Hare, was his first major success. The Anatomist was made into a Movie twice, first by Hammer in 1956 and then a TV Movie in 1980 with Patrick Stewart in the role of Knox.
This success continued throughout the 1930s and 40s with, amongst others, Jonah and the Whale, Mary Read’with Flora Robson and Robert Donat,Susannah and the Elders, The King of Nowhere with Laurence Olivier, Mr Bolfry’ with Alastair Sim again, and many others.
In 1939 he was awarded an honorary LL.D from Glasgow University, and received his CBE in 1946.
James Bridie died in Edinburgh in 1951 of a stroke and is buried in Glasgow Western Necropolis.
In 1955 Glasgow University Union purchased a bronze head of Mavor/Bridie by Benno Schotz. The Bridie Dinner, introduced that year, became a feature of Daft Friday at the Union. His Grandaughter is the Scottish actress and model Freya Mavor.
