Barking In Essex is a riotously funny comedy by Clive Exton, published and produced for the first time in 2013.
Clive Exton was a London-born screenwriter and playwright. His writing credits include the highly-acclaimed film 10 Rillington Place, as well as Poirot and Jeeves and Wooster. Exton wrote the new book for the PG Wodehouse original for a musical based on Damsels in Distress, as well as a new stage comedy Twixt, which premiered in Paris in 1996 and played in Munich, Berlin, Cologne, Milan, Rome, Naples and Florence. He also adapted Agatha Christie's Murder is Easy for a production at the Duke of York Theatre. Productions of his own plays, Neddy and Bumps and Barking In Essex, were being planned at the time of his death in 2007.
