| Summary | Originally a play for television, transmitted by the BBC in 1962, and now lost, 'A Suitable Case for Treatment' subsequently survived in a 1966 film version entitled 'Morgan'. It explores a familiar Mercer theme, what film-maker Paul Madden called 'social alienation masquerading as madness'. A broad farce in which the main character indulged in 'mad' visions of a retreat to the jungle away from the complexities of his political and personal life, it was innovative in the way it represented Morgan's thoughts and fantasies, his speech patterns and eccentric behaviour. |
