Trevor Griffiths first made his presence felt in British theatre with the 1970 production of Occupations, his account of the 1920 factory occupations in Turin, Italy. For the past three decades, he has produced a considerable body of work for stage, television, and film. Griffiths's journey as a writer reflects his lifelong commitment to the socialist cause in England, his exploration of the contradictions inherent in revolutionary politics, and his own struggles as a radical writer working within a capitalist system.
