His plays Rope and Gaslight made the sex-obsessed, booze-fuelled Hamilton famous. But his urban novels are now seen as his best work and his classic trilogy Twenty Thousand Streets under the Sky has just completed a run on BBC2. This biography asks why the Marxist maverick has been largely written out of literary history? Richard E Grant narrates.
