Dorothy Brandon

Dorothy Brandon was a British playwright active in the interwar years. Her greatest West End success was the 1923 medical drama The Outsider[1] which was revived several times, and adapted into films on three occasions.[2]

An earlier hit was 1917's Wild Heather which ran at the Strand Theatre for 79 performances.[3] It was also made into a film.[4] A 1926 play Blind Alley was less successful, running for thirteen performances.[5]

gollark: That's not exactly better if it leads to worse outcomes.
gollark: I mean, if you go around trying revolutioning, this will:- probably turn out badly for you- also probably not do much
gollark: I don't agree. "People" in aggregate can, but you aren't that.
