Bloomsbury Publishing PLC A Life In 16 Films : How Cinema Made A Playwright

Steve Waters examines how the very idea of film has defined him as a playwright and a person in this book.Through the the lens of cinema, it provides a cultural and political snapshot of life in Britain from the 2nd part of the 20th century up to the present day.The films spanning almost a century, starting with The White Hell of Pitz Palu (1929) and moving most recently to Dark Waters (2019), each chapter examines aspects of Waters's journey from his working-class Midlands upbringing to working in professional theatre to living through the Covid epidemic, through the prism of a particular film.From The Wizard of Oz to Code Unknown, from sci-fi to documentary, from queer cinema to world cinema, this honest, comic book offers a view of film as a way of thinking about how we live.In doing so, it illuminates culture and politics in the UK over half a century and provides an intimate insight into drama and writing.
