You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.88.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 06:27, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Peter Terson''' (born '''Peter Patterson'''; 16 February 1932 – 8 April 2021<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.britishtheatreguide.info/news/peter-terson-1932-2021-13075|title=Theatre news: Peter Terson (1932–2021)|website=British Theatre Guide|accessdate=16 April 2021))</ref><ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.thestage.co.uk/obituaries--archive/obituaries/peter-terson|title=Peter Terson|website=The Stage|accessdate=16 April 2021))</ref><ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.theguardian.com/stage/2021/apr/15/peter-terson-obituary|title=Peter Terson obituary|date=15 April 2021|website=The Guardian|accessdate=16 April 2021))</ref>) was a British [[playwright]] whose plays have been produced for stage, television and radio.  Most of his theatre work was first produced at the Victoria Theatre in Stoke-on-Trent in conjunction with director [[Peter Cheeseman]] who championed his work and directed over twenty of his plays.  

Terson was born in Walker,<ref>((Cite web|date=2021-04-15|title=Peter Terson obituary|url=http://www.theguardian.com/stage/2021/apr/15/peter-terson-obituary|access-date=18 April 2021|website=The Guardian|language=en))</ref> [[Newcastle-upon-Tyne]]. His father, Peter Patterson, was a joiner.  His first play was ''A Night to Make the Angels Weep'' in 1964 - the last was ''Rumpelstiltskin'', a play for children, in 1984. Many of his plays focused on the [[Vale of Evesham]] where Terson lived before becoming resident dramatist at the theatre. He also became an astute adaptor of novels by [[Arnold Bennett]] and [[Herman Melville]]. As a result of the success of his work in Stoke, he was invited to write for the National Youth Theatre where his work focused on growing up in the dead-end [[working-class culture]] of industrial England.((cn|date=November 2022)) 

From 1956 to 1958, Terson trained at Redland Teacher Training College in Bristol, a college of Bristol University. He taught for 10 years before writing professionally. He taught History and P.E. at what was then Blackminster County Secondary School, near Littleton, Worcestershire. Terson left Blackminster in the mid-1960s.((Citation needed|date=April 2010))

Plays such as ''[[Zigger Zagger]]'', about [[football hooligan]]s and their pursuit of drink, sex, and trouble, and ''The Apprentices'', showing the cruelties between young men learning industrial trades, presented a dismal view of life with few means of escape. In ''Zigger Zagger'' an apprenticeship was the escape from the hooligan lifestyle. These two plays were also taken up by local theatre groups and even appeared in school productions, with local adaptations by the producers for accent, dialect, soccer teams and related slang. ((Citation needed|date=April 2010)) 

[[Hans Neuenfels]]' [[Theater & Orchester Heidelberg|Heidelberg]]-production of ''Zikke Zakke'' was invited to the [[Berliner Theatertreffen]] in 1969.<ref>[[Hellmuth Karasek]]: [http://www.zeit.de/1969/09/skandaloes/seite-1 "Skandalös?"], ''[[Die Zeit]]'', 28 February 1969.</ref> 

Works for television often took a more optimistic view, especially a series of plays centering on a trio of Yorkshiremen, led by Art ([[Brian Glover]]), and their humorous misadventures.   Terson treated the situation of men dealing with life in the modern de-industrialized North in the play ''Strippers'' which ran in London's [[West End theatre]]s.((Citation needed|date=April 2010))

Several of his plays have been produced by the [[National Youth Theatre]]. In [[Belgium]], his play ''The Mighty Reservoir'' (in Dutch: ''Het Machtig Reservoir'') reached more than 500 performances by the MMT, a theatre in [[Mechelen]], and a TV-adaption by the BRT (Belgian television).

Terson was a prolific writer: over eighty of his plays have been performed and there is a vast catalogue of unperformed scripts at the Victoria Theatre archive at Staffordshire University. Peter Terson's personal archive is housed at the Cadbury Research Library, University of Birmingham.
