" Includes the plays Lenin in Love, The Teddy Bears' Picnic and The Potsdam Quartet Three gripping political plays: Lenin in Love takes up the alleged sexual troika and sadistic inclinations of one of the foremost political leaders of the 20th century. The Teddy Bears' Picnic is an ironic comedy which shows Stalin playing relaxed host and bon viveur in his country retreat. His Politburo guests are somewhat less relaxed. The Potsdam Quartet features four embittered musicians hired to entertain Stalin, Truman, Atlee and Churchill as they 'divide up the world'."
"David Pinner trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, after which he appeared on stage and television in many roles. While he was playing the lead in 'The Mousetrap' in the West End, he wrote his first novel 'Ritual'(later made into the film The Wicker Man). He has written two other novels 'With My Body' and 'There'll Always Be An England'. His stage plays include 'Dickon', 'Cartoon', 'Lucifer's Fair', 'Hereward The Wake', 'The Potsdam Quartet', 'Shakebag', 'An Evening With The G.L.C.', 'Screwball', 'Revelations', 'The Teddy Bears' Picnic', 'The Last Englishman', 'The Sins of the Mother', 'Lenin in Love'.
