With the general reassessment of mid-twentiethcentury drama, a fringe production of The Queen and the Rebels in 2002 might presage a Betti revival, though the odds remain against it. British dramatist [1968 – ] PLAYS INCLUDE: Spurning Comfort (1998), A Listening Heaven (1999), Mummies and Daddies (1999), Incarcerator (1999), Five Visions of the Faithful (2000), Clockwatching (2001), The Biggleswades (2001), Silence and Violence (2002) A Liverpool graduate who subsequently trained as an actor, Betts earned rave reviews for a burst of plays at the turn of the century.
