HARRISON, Craig

HARRISON, Craig
(1942-)
   UK-born NEW ZEALAND playwright and writer whose work embodies consistently anti-racist themes. Broken October: New Zealand 1985 (1976) posits political terrorism and racial conflict resulting in a US-backed military takeover. In The Quiet Earth (1981), filmed as The QUIET EARTH (1985), a GENETIC-ENGINEERING disaster depopulates the planet. The insaneprotagonist realizes, in a moment of CONCEPTUAL BREAKTHROUGH that vindicates his PARANOIA, that he has caused the DISASTER. Days of Starlight (1988) pits scientists against the US military after aholographic recorder of Earth's history is discovered. Technically excellent, CH's work is sometimes uninvolving.
