A. Whitehead's first play, The Foursome, had its premiere at the Royal Court Theatre in 1971, and subsequently transferred to the West End, winning the George Devine Award and Evening Standard Award for most promising playwright. Ostensibly a play about the battle of the sexes, it is actually an exploration of the assumptions that make such battles inevitable.\u003cbr\u003eWhitehead continued his exploration of sexual conflict in his next two plays, Alpha-Beta and The Sea Anchor. The plays were widely produced and won Whitehead an international reputation.\u003cbr\u003eThe Punishment, shown live on BBC2 in 1972, is a one-act play about authority and corruption.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ted Whitehead\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1840022221\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781840022223\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.10w x 0.50d","brand":"Ted Whitehead","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47637307326719,"sku":"9781840022223","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_017735ae-3f1c-4209-85fa-e1cde8541902.jpg?v=1765115332","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ted-whitehead-ted-whitehead-9781840022223","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
