- Afore_Night_Come abstract "Afore Night Come is a play by the British playwright David Rudkin, first staged by the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1962. While the subject matter of the play meant that any production in a public theatre would likely have been vetoed by the Lord Chamberlain, the RSC was able to mount the play at the members-only club theatre the Arts. It is set in an orchard in the Black Country region of England's Midlands. In the play, two young men and a tramp arrive one morning looking for job picking fruit, but as the day wears on there is violence and bloodshed. In the play Rudkin harks back to a pagan era where the crops were fertilised by human blood. Kenneth Tynan, the noted theatre critic and writer, reviewing the play in The Observer, wrote "Not since Look Back In Anger has a playwright made a debut more striking than this."Rudkin, when writing programme notes for the revival of the play at the Young Vic in 2001, explained that he was afraid that no-one would ever stage the play, firstly because of the bad language, but also "because I needed to thread through this dark story a counter-element of desire and love to off-set the rage and hatred - and there weren't any girls working in this company, and in any case the rage and hatred were all very male, the desire had to be male as well, inevitably making it have to be homosexual, which according to the laws of the time meant that the play could never be publicly staged. And the logical moral outcome of the play's process would be a climactic act of violence of a sort that I don't think had been done on an English stage since the Jacobeans. So I had to choose: back off and not follow the logical implications of the play; or go through with it and be damned. If I was going to be a writer, there wasn't any choice."".
