After nearly 10 years of literary failure, Orton scored his first success when in August 1963 his 45-minute play 'The Boy Hairdresser' was accepted by the BBC Third Programme. Orton originally conceived it for the theatre and BBC producers thought it a bit meandering and needed more careful plotting. After 3 rewrites, Orton submitted the final version of the script with a revised title, 'The Ruffian on the Stair', and it was finally broadcast on 31st August 1964
