"In 1956, at the age of 22, Alan Bates was cast in John Osborne's controversial play, Look Back in Anger. The play changed the course of British theatre and of Alan's life. He worked steadily in major films, from A Kind of Loving and Zorba the Greek to Women in Love - and he won international acclaim for An Englishman Abroad. During his career, he appeared in more than 80 plays, 45 films and 32 television dramas, including major works by Simon Gray, Harold Pinter and Alan Bennett. Drawing on interviews with Alan Bates's family, his lovers, colleagues and friends - and mining a rich store of primary research - this exclusively authorised biography paints a portrait of a complex and remarkable personality."
