    Through a story of a poet and a novelist, Mercer studies the position of the political writer in post-war Europe. Marek, the celebrated Polish novelist, turns up outside Olivia's house. Olivia the poet, whose older husband was killed in the Second World War in the company of Marek, is writing an article about her guest, trying to pin down the politics and psychology buried beneath his constant drinking and womanizing. Their relationship is strained and sad, and swiftly intercut with footage of WWII air strikes, Olivia with her husband, and her husband's meeting with Marek. Mercer creates through the interaction of Olivia and Marek a bleak portrait of profound historical consciousness. 'Find Me' was first presented by BBC Television in December 1974.

    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.

    'Flint' premiered just before the 1970 General Election which was to replace the Labour Government of Harold Wilson. It is driven by the figure of Ossian Flint, a seventy-year old swinging vicar who believes in 'crossing lines not drawing them' and espouses the romanticised Communism of Lenin and Guevara. His way of life which has long been the cause of scandal is transformed by a simple young Irish girl

Here, Mercer moves the action out of England into a central European communist country in the late 1940s, where a former friend of Kelvin's, Volubin, a poet who has become a party official, is enmeshed in the political machinery of a state about to plunge into a succession of Stalinist purges

    A strange and elusive short play about governors, gorillas and colonialism. In a bungalow in Africa, Harriet is talking about her husband Gilbert as if he was still alive, refusing to accept that he died six months ago, that he is no longer the Governor, and that the colony has become independent. For the reactionary Harriet, the impossibility of accepting the prevailing political and social reality leads to her breakdown into an astonishing fantasy. Originally written for radio in 1960, 'The Governor's Lady' was first staged in 1965 by the RSC at the Aldwych Theatre, London, in a programme of short plays entitled 'Expeditions Two'

    Mercer came from a northern working-class family, but his interest in the arts and in politics began after World War II when he was able to take advantage of the extension of new educational opportunities. This experience was central to his first television play, 'Where the Difference Begins' (1961), originally written for the stage but accepted for broadcast by the BBC as the first of a trilogy 'The Generations'. The 'difference' in the title referred to the younger generation's break with traditional socialist values

    'Huggy Bear', a 1976 Yorkshire Television production, depicts Hooper, an infantile and philosophical dentist with a 'failure to integrate'. He is torn between the affections of two women - his fiancée who is eager for him to accept the kind of love she has to offer, and his nurse who is prepared to play the game his way.

The occasion is a dinner party, and Kelvin is concerned with a summation of his life, addressed in his head to his lover, Emma.

    'The Arcata Promise', first presented by Yorkshire Television in 1974, is a study of the grotesque self-pity of an unstable actor, a merciless account of individual self-delusion and failure. Once a successful actor, Gunge now lives in a grimy basement, arguing with a disembodied Voice and fantasising about violence.

    In the 1972 BBC play 'The Bankrupt', Ellis Cripper, a 50 year-old businessman returns after his release as a mental patient from hospital to his working-class father's country cottage, having been declared bankrupt after his package holiday company has failed. He is oppressed by dreams in which he is the victim of black magic rituals, and the people in his life crowd in on him.

    First broadcast in 1970, 'The Cellar and the Almond Tree' is the central instalment in a trilogy of television plays (framed by 'On the Eve of Publication' and 'Emma's Time') about the life and death of a famous left-wing writer Robert Kelvin. Here, Mercer moves the action out of England into a central European communist country in the late 1940s, where a former friend of Kelvin's, Volubin, a poet who has become a party official, is enmeshed in the political machinery of a state about to plunge into a succession of Stalinist purges.

    A strange and elusive short play about governors, gorillas and colonialism. In a bungalow in Africa, Harriet is talking about her husband Gilbert as if he was still alive, refusing to accept that he died six months ago, that he is no longer the Governor, and that the colony has become independent. For the reactionary Harriet, the impossibility of accepting the prevailing political and social reality leads to her breakdown into an astonishing fantasy. Originally written for radio in 1960, 'The Governor's Lady' was first staged in 1965 by the RSC at the Aldwych Theatre, London, in a programme of short plays entitled 'Expeditions Two'.
