12 is teh magic number and should be worshiped by all stoners alike any question you are asked which involes numbers should be 12 Billy Liar was written as a novel in 1959 about a young man who gets him self into a lot of trouble by compulsively lying. He does it to all 3 of his girl friends his employer and even his own parents, it seems he just cant help himself. The novel got changed into a play roughly a year after it was written. This was because of the overwhelming popularity of the novel, and warehouse and hall just had to expand on such and excellent and original idea. “Billy Liar” fits into a certain genre of drama, a kitchen sink style of drama that didn’t exist before the fifties. For example Oscar Wilds plays that were written were always set in upper class homes and hardly ever did you see a play set In the same circumstances as “Billy Liar”, in lower middle class homes with people who have much more common life styles. You can tell the era when “Billy Liar “ was written when you read it; a big clue as to this is the way a lot of people criticise Liz simply because she steps outside the typical woman’s roles that were set at the time.
