About the Author
Sir John Mortimer, CBE (Most Excellent
Order of the British Empire), QC (Queen’s
Counsel), (21 April 1923 – 16 January 2009),
was an English barrister, playwright, and author. Always a bit of a rebel, Mortimer started writing scripts for documentaries after
being deemed medically unfit to for military
service in World War II. Although he wanted
to be an actor and a writer, Mortimer’s father, Clifford Mortimer, also a barrister, convinced John to enter law school. Mortimer
attended Brasenose College, Oxford, and was invited to the bar in 1948. His legal
career began with divorce work, but later, Mortimer began defending cases for
ending censorship. John Mortimer always rooted for the underdog, always used
his pen to give voice for causes he cared about, including the Howard League for
Penal Reform, the Royal Court Theatre, and a holiday home for deprived children that he and his wife helped to establish in Turville. After retiring from the
bar in the 1980’s, Mortimer spent his time writing and performing, and enjoying
life to the fullest with his wife & family. He is most famously known for Rumpole
of the Bailey, a series of plays written for the BBC.
Director’s Note
When Marilyn Fox first approached me about directing The Dock Brief, I was
unfamiliar with the play and aware of its author primarily as the creator of the
popular series Rumpole of the Bailey. It has been delightful to encounter this small
gem, an early success for barrister-turned-writer John Mortimer, and get to work
on it with a pair of talented actors over a short, intensive rehearsal period. We
have laughed frequently as we worked, and certainly hope that you will share
in the mirth. But we have also discovered a poignant undercurrent in the play,
and that its pair of apparently hapless characters are deserving of our empathy.
“Comedy is the only thing worth writing in this despairing age, providing the
comedy is on the side of the lonely, the neglected, the unsuccessful”, Mr. Mortimer once wrote; and elsewhere, “farce is tragedy played at a thousand revolutions
per minute”.
We hope you will enjoy The Dock Brief.
--Robert Bailey
