A Beast with Two Backs
The setting of this play is The Forest of Dean, from where Dennis Potter hails and which is also the setting for the hero's boyhood scenes in "The Singing Detective", not as stated The New Forest. The play is based on a true story that still resonates in the Forest of Dean to this day - be advised if in a Cinderford pub on a Saturday night not to ask who killed the bears!
