by George Buchner, translated by Howard Brenton
The second of four plays.
With Gerard Murphy as Danton, Tim McInnerny as Desmoulins and Nickolas Grace as Robespierre
Paris: March and April 1794. Danton finds himself looking towards a moderate period for the Revolution; but to Robespierre, Danton is standing in the way of the inexorable terror that must sweep all counter-revolutionaries aside.
