''Playing Away'' is a 1987 TV comedy film, from a screenplay by Caryl Phillips, about two cricket teams. The English team, fictitiously named ''Sneddington'' (based in Lavenham, Suffolk) invites a team of West Indian heritage based in Brixton (South London) to play a charity game in support of their "Third World Week." According to Screenonline, "The gentle comedy of manners and unexpected reversal of white and black stereotypes in ''Playing Away'' contrasts sharply with the stylistic experimentation and the militant denunciations of racial prejudice in director Horace Ové's earlier feature, ''Pressure'' (1975)."〔Onyekachi Wambu, ("Playing Away (1986)" ), Screenonline, BFI.〕 ''New York Times'' reviewer Vincent Canby called it "witty and wise without being seriously disturbing for a minute".〔Vincent Canby, ("Playing Away (1986)" ), ''The New York Times'', 13 March 1987.〕 The cricket match scenes were filmed at Botany Bay Cricket Club in Enfield, Middlesex. Among those starring in ''Playing Away'' were: *Norman Beaton *Nicholas Farrell *Brian Bovell *Ross Kemp *Gary Beadle *Trevor Thomas *Ram John Holder *Bruce Purchase *Joseph Marcell *Director: Horace Ové *Producer: Vijay Amarnani *Music by: Simon Webb ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Playing Away」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
