A new play by Maurice Levinson with David March, James McManus and Anthony Hall
If you were going to rob a bank would you have a car outside with its engine running.... or would you have a taxi?
What do his fellow taxi-drivers in London think of Maurice Levinson, whose first play for radio The Day I Robbed a Bank can be heard this morning? 'They think I'm a bit of a freak,' he admits wryly, 'and I can see their point of view.' For while he has been cruising through the streets of the West End-more than thirty years Mr. Levinson has been making quite a name for himself as a prolific author of novels, short stories, and articles and, before that, as a painter.
He is probably best known for his book Taxi, one of the best-sellers of 1963, and for his autobiographical The Woman of Bessarabia published last year. 'I've so many ideas for novels and plays,' he says, 'that I'd like to give up the taxi altogether now to concentrate on them. But although I'm driving only for an hour or two in the evening these days, I find it does seem to stimulate my writing.'
