Another Country is set in an English public school in the early 1930s. The future leaders of the English ruling class are being prepared for their roles in the Establishment. But the two central characters are outsiders: Guy Bennett, coming to terms with homosexuality, and Tommy Judd, a committed Marxist. Judd wants to abolish the whole system of British life, Bennett wants a successful career within it but school, and the system, have traditional ways of dealing with rebels. Another Country had a 19-month West End run following its Greenwich Theatre premiere. It was SWET Play of the Year 1982 and subsequently a successful film starring Kenneth Branagh and Rupert Everett.
