David Hines (born 1945) is an English writer, author and screenwriter. He is the author of the screenplay of the film Whore, directed by Ken Russel.

Biography

In 1957 Hines went to the William Morris School for the Arts. With the intention to become a dancer, in 1965 he moved to London and joined the Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance, a part of Brunel University. Two years later he worked with Stanley Kubrick as one of the character actors in 2001 A Space Odyssey. He returned to the Rambert School in 1969 and the same year he became a member of the London Ballet Company.

After his wedding in 1970, he started working for the Pergamon Press and for the Evening Standard. In 1975 Hines divorced his wife. Subsequently, he worked for a film company called the Scimitar Films, but he resigned with the aim to write more novels and plays, working in the meantime as a part-time taxi driver.

His work is Bondage, a prize-winning monologue focused on a night in the life of a prostitute, inspired by a talking with an actual prostitute while he was working as a taxi driver. The monologue has been presented as a theatrical drama in the whole of Europe and made into a film by Ken Russel, under the title Whore.

In 1994 he published Unattended Baggage, a play about two brothers. Three years later he published A Leap into Madness, a monologue about Vaslav Nijinsky.

Hines lives in London and in Italy.

Liz is a Los Angeles street prostitute. The audience first sees her attempting to get a customer on a busy downtown street near a tunnel. She addresses the audience directly on her life and problems throughout the film. When a van stops by, she gives it the brush off, recalling the last time she serviced a man in a van: it turned out there were several other men in the van, who gang-raped her and left her for dead. A passerby helps her to the hospital, and even pays her bill there. She sends him a thank you note.

Being 400 years old, the Countess has collected a stable of young men and women who accompany her on her centuries-old journey through eternal night-and youth. While she is immortal, she is required to drink the blood of a young male virgin three times by Halloween each year to keep her immortality and youthful appearance - a task she finds increasingly and extremely hard, since attractive young male virgins are almost impossible to find in the 1980s, particularly in hedonistic cities, in this case, Los Angeles.
