Biography
Colin Free was born on 1 September 1925 inAssessment
Leslie Rees called him:An author of remarkable facility and flexibility of mind" who in his stage plays "showed a rich gift for words in dramatic and lyrical contiguity, a derisive sense of characterization, a volatile and inventive calling-up of scene both past and present, and what Alexander Archdale described as “‘Pirandellian ingenuity”—all this without quite being able to draw his reins together and spin the horse past the winning-post, meanwhile murmuring in its ear something really striking. Similar qualities of flair, energy, but inadequate clearness of line marked some of Free’s ever-ranging, elusive contributions to a further A.B.C. series, ''Delta'', illustrating the investigations of a young group of itinerant scientists into dubious practices around the countryside. But in the short bucolic comedy, ''A Walk Among the Wheenies'', he was entirely successful.
