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]

Selected plays
gollark: I do think it would be good for cities to be split out into somewhat smaller cities with better land prices/traffic/etc, though.
gollark: Entirely anecdotally, I live in [RURAL AREA REDACTED] and don't like it because there is *nothing to do here*. Generally speaking, cities being less city-y would probably reduce productivity a lot which would be bad.
gollark: Hmm, so we need better treatments for age-related mental issues, you mean.
gollark: I mean, if you end up in horrible health in the later bits, yes, but otherwise it seems pretty great.
gollark: ... *seriously*?
