Summary
Brian Clark has earned a reputation for sharp social comment and in his play Can You Hear Me at the Back?
he examines the world of architects and town planners who, instead of
designing buildings that fit the human scale, seem to succeed only in
creating a succession of people filing cabinets. His central
character, Philip Turner, Chief Architect of Feltonly New Town, comments
wryly: "You can stack flats one on top of the other, and the
pre-stressed concrete can stand the pressure. But until someone
discovers a way of pre-stressing people, the strain breaks them down."
