The Dog beneath the Skin or where is Francis? A Play in three Acts.
Sixth impression. When Bridson had reviewed the play on its first publication in 1935 (along with two other works), he thought it ‘very good fun … as slick, symbolical and smart-Alecky as The Orators’, though the versification of the choruses was ‘on the slack side’. In 1965 Bridson included a radio production of the play the in-depth examination of ‘Britain in the Thirties’ of which he was the general editor.
Bloomfield and Mendelson A9 note.
