Bernard Kops is one of Britain’s leading playwrights. He won sudden, unexpected fame in 1957 with his East End play The Hamlet of Stepney Green. This was drama steeped in the Yiddish theatrical tradition: a sweet-and-sour comedy including brilliant poetry set to music, the play portrayed a dying working-class community through the frustrating relationship between an ailing father and his adult son. It has been performed all over the world. Playing Sinatra, another of his favourite plays, has also been produced around the world. It had an incredible reception when it went to Warehouse Theatre Croydon and Greenwich Theatre, and opened in April 2012 in Washington D.C. In all, he has written more than forty plays, nine novels and two autobiographies.
