Buoyed by Garnett's enthusiasm and influenced by the Paris events of May 1968, he wrote Occupations, a stage play about the Italian Communist Antonio Gramsci and the Fiat factory occupations of 1920s Italy. [2] The play had been submitted to the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) as early as 1964, but had then been rejected as being "too controversial". [3] Following its premiere in Manchester the previous year, [4] the eventual RSC production in 1971 of Occupations, Griffiths first full-length stage play, [4] was directed by Buzz Goodbody. Intending to affect "bourgeois theatre" with his viewpoint, Griffiths has described his approach as being "committed to analysing Marxism and to condemn Stalinism without discrediting socialism in the eyes of the world". [3] Martyn Walsh, prosecuting at Liverpool Crown Court, explained the messages took place between January 10 and January 17, 2019 on platform Chatiw.

The play soon brought him to the attention of Kenneth Tynan, the literary manager of the National Theatre Company who promptly commissioned Griffiths to write the play that became The Party. [1] This critique of the British revolutionary left featured the National's artistic director Laurence Olivier in his last stage role as the Glaswegian Trotskyist John Tagg. [2] Griffiths had by now begun to write television plays, such as "All Good Men" ( Play for Today, BBC, 31 January 1974) and "Through the Night" (2 December 1975). [5] [6] Influenced by the experience of his wife, the latter is concerned with a woman's treatment for breast cancer. [6] In between these two plays came "Absolute Beginners" (BBC, 19 April 1974), in the series Fall of Eagles, which presents a version of events in 1903 involving Lenin and Trotsky. [7] He developed a series about parliamentary democracy, Bill Brand, which was first shown by ITV in the summer of 1976. [8]
