Heathcote Williams
Heathcote Williams (born 15 November 1941) is an English poet, actor and dramatist. He has written a number of best-selling book-length polemical poems including Autogeddon, Falling for a Dolphin and Whale Nation, which in 1988 became, according to Philip Hoare "the most powerful argument for the newly instigated worldwide ban on whaling.". Williams invented his idiosyncratic 'documentary/investigative poetry' style which he continues to put to good purpose bringing a diverse range of environmental and political matters to public attention. In June 2015, he published a book-length investigative poem about the 'Muslim Gandhi', Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, 'Badshah Khan'
As well as being a prolific playwright and screenwriter, Williams has appeared in a number of well-known Independent and Hollywood films and was among the celebrity guests in the final 'Friends' episode, 'The One Where Ross Gets Married'. He played Prospero in Derek Jarman’s The Tempest and has appeared in several ‘arthouse’ films, including Orlando, as well as Hollywood blockbusters such as Basic Instinct 2.Al Pacino played the part of a Williams fan in a spoof arts documentary, Every Time I Cross the Tamar I Get Into Trouble.
