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 44.201.0.0/16 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 23:54, 31 July 2024.

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.

'''Royce Thomas Carlisle Ryton''' (16 September 1924 &ndash; 14 April 2009<ref>((Cite web|last=Smith|first=Alistair|date=16 April 2009|title=Playwright Royce Ryton dies aged 84|url=https://www.thestage.co.uk/news/newsstory.php/24126/playwright-royce-ryton-dies-aged-84|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110612045900/https://www.thestage.co.uk/news/newsstory.php/24126/playwright-royce-ryton-dies-aged-84|archive-date=12 June 2011|website=The Stage))</ref>) was an [[England|English]] [[playwright]]. He was educated at Lancing College. During the war he served in the Royal Navy; afterward, he went to train as an actor at the [[Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art]]. As an actor, he played in many repertory theatres, including Bromley, Minehead, and [[Connaught Theatre|Worthing]]. He also toured extensively. Over the years he worked less as an actor so he could concentrate on his writing. Initially, he had some success with comedies (which were particularly well received in Germany), but later he became fascinated with the interaction of the private and public lives of royalty and politicians.

He was married to Morar Kennedy (sister of [[Ludovic Kennedy]]) from 1955<ref>((Cite web|date=1 May 2009|title=Royce Ryton|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/culture-obituaries/theatre-obituaries/5258963/Royce-Ryton.html|access-date=2022-02-16|website=The Daily Telegraph|location=London))</ref> until his death, aged 84; they have a daughter, Charlotte. Morar has a son, Roderick Orr-Ewing, from her first marriage.<ref name=":0" />

With ''Crown Matrimonial'' (1972), Ryton achieved an historical first – the serious portrayal of a living member of the Royal Family ([[Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother]]) on the stage. It is about the [[Edward VIII abdication crisis|Abdication crisis]] of 1936. The play was Ryton's most successful work and has been performed on [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]] and the [[London West End]]. In the West End, the central portrayals of [[Mary of Teck|Queen Mary]] and [[Edward VIII]] were played by [[Wendy Hiller]] and [[Peter Barkworth]].<ref name=":0">((Cite web|last=Coveney|first=Michael|date=2009-04-17|title=Obituary: Royce Ryton|url=http://www.theguardian.com/film/2009/apr/18/obituary-royce-ryton|access-date=2022-02-16|website=The Guardian|language=en))</ref> Most recently Queen Mary was played by [[Patricia Routledge]].

Ryton continued his 'Royal-theme' in 1981 with the comedy (co-written with [[Ray Cooney]]), ''[[Her Royal Highness..? (play)|Her Royal Highness]]'', about a double having to stand-in for [[Lady Diana Spencer]] when she loses her nerve and disappears, one week before the [[Wedding of Charles, Prince of Wales, and Lady Diana Spencer|Royal Wedding]]. It ran successfully at the [[Palace Theatre, London|Palace Theatre]] in London's [[West End theatre|West End]] from 1981 to 1982.
