'We want your voice. Schippel. In return, we are willing to offer you certain rewards... a new frock-coat, a small retainer. But we are certainly not prepared to embrace plumbers as equals. We are your superiors. Do you understand me, now?'
The setting: Germany in 1913
Directed by MIKE OCKRENT
Musical adviser DAVID JOHNSON
Producer STEWART CONN
(Repeated: Sunday 2.30 pm)
