Food for Ravens

Powerful drama on the life of Aneurin Bevan, founder of the National Health Service. Written by Trevor Griffiths, the play focuses on Bevan's final days, showing him musing on his life and career from his sickbed in Buckinghamshire. The title is that of a seventh century Welsh poem by Aneiirin and refers to Bevan's early death at 62 from cancer. Bevan was a complex man, rooted in the working class yet deeply influenced by glamourous world figures, a fact reflected in the drama.
