A second chance to hear David Halliwell's play, written in 1965 and one of the most influential stage plays of the 60s which won Halliwell the Evening
Standard Award for most promising playwright. It tells of Malcolm - a would-be Hitler from Huddersfield - an art student dismissed by a long-suffering principal who can no longer tolerate his sneering laziness. Alone in his freezing studio Malcolm plots the downfall of his enemies and persuades his fellow art students to take up arms against eunuchry by forming the Party of Dynamic Erection.
The play is a comedy that shows how a hunger for power and the ability to manipulate followers can lead to personal disaster.
