A Beast With Two Backs (1968) is...back! This July (saturday 18th) will see the screening of this controversial Wednesday Play in the very location where much of it was filmed - Lydbrook in the Forest of Dean. The screening, in partnership with the British Film Institute, will be the centre piece of a joint research project funded by the University of Gloucestershire and the University of Warwick.  As well as an exhibition about the original production and its screening, (generating heated exchanges in the pages of the local press at the time), there will be copies of original Potter scripts to see, and material relating to the original notorious events (the killing of the bears) that the play draws on for its inspiration. The screening and exhibition marks the continuation of a relationship between staff and students at the universities and the local community. It will also see the official launch of the book Remembering Dennis Potter Through Fans, Extras and Archives co-authored by local post-graduate research student Hannah Grist.
