Born in 1911 at Sydenham South London Sven Berlin was a dancer painter sculptor poet and writer. In 1938 he moved to Cornwall to pursue his artistic career. Exhibiting paintings drawings and sculpture regularly with the St. Ives Art Colony. In London Berlin was a founding member of the Crypt Group of modern-minded young artists and of the important Penwith Society of Arts in 1949. He broke with the latter group following a much-publicized rift between the abstract Modernists led by Ben Nicholson and Barbara Hepworth and the more representational artists including Berlin. This artistic clash of egos was the inspiration for Berlin's 1962 fictionalized autobiography The Dark Monarch which was withdrawn just days after publication following legal action. An outsider from the mainstream of British art Berlin would become one of the last great British bohemians. An important set of manuscripts written in Berlin's strong hand and illustrated with his bold drawings rich in imagery and metaphor.

Insisting on racial integration Berlin was permitted to add African Americans into this play which he was not allowed to do in his earlier Yip Yip Yaphank musical during World War I.
