Play Power by Richard Neville 1970 .A copy of the scarce First Edition with its original dust wrapper, including the Headopoly poster game (which was previously seized by Australian Customs and suppressed for the US edition). The striking wrapper was designed by Martin Sharp. Richard Neville was portrayed by British actor Hugh Grant in the television drama “The Trials of Oz (1991)” and he was portrayed by Irish actor Cillian Murphy in the unreleased film “Hippie Hippie Shake”, produced by Working Title, directed by Beeban Kidron, which co-starred Sienna Miller and Emma Booth. As founder and editor of the notorious counterculture magazine "OZ," Richard Neville courted controversy nearly everywhere he went, with an obscenity conviction in Australia being overturned in the mid-sixties only to find himself facing another in London six years later. Among his most ardent and outspoken defenders during this second trial were John Lennon and Yoko Ono, who held a protest in Neville's defence outside of the Old Bailey during his trial.
