Badger's Green is a 1930 British comedy play written by R.C. Sheriff. A company has ambitious plans to redevelop the quiet, picturesque village of Badger's Green. The inhabitants mount a resistance campaign and it is eventually decided to settle the future of the village by playing a cricket match.
The play originally opened in June 1930 at London's Prince of Wales Theatre, where it ran for only 35 performances.[1] It has however, been adapted for the screen three times: a 1934 version starring Valerie Hobson,[2] a 1938 version starring Maurice Denham and a 1949 version starring Garry Marsh.[3] It was also adapted for television twice: a now-lost[4] 1938 version on BBC television[5] and a 1958 version as part of ITV Television Playhouse,[6] also lost.[7]
