<p> The work of English playwright Simon Gray (1936-2008) has always resisted ideological and stylistic labels. His artistic independence has also had an unwelcome side effect: It cost him the critical attention garnered by his peers.

If Gray remains the least known major English dramatist of his day, he's also one of the boldest and best.</p>
