Bridget Boland
Bridget Boland (13 March 1913 – 19 January 1988) was a British screenwriter, playwright and novelist.Boland was educated at the Convent of the Sacred Heart, Roehampton and at Oxford University, where she studied philosophy, politics, and economics, graduating B.A.From 1941 to 1946 she served in the Auxiliary Territorial Service, producing plays for the troops to boost morale from 1943 to 1946.[2] Boland reflected on her life and work in 1987: "Although I hold a British passport I am in fact Irish, and the daughter of an Irish politician at that, which may account for a certain contrariness in my work.I succeed best with heavy drama (The Prisoner), so I can't resist trying to write frothy comedy (Temple Folly).By the time you have written half a dozen plays or so you began to realize you are probably still trying to write the one you started with.
