A play by Paul Ferris, starring John Hartley as Aneurin Bevan and Oscar Quitak as Hugh Gaitskell
with Dudley Jones, Timothy Bateson, Aubrey Richards, Rachel Thomas, Gerald James, Reginald Marsh

Twenty-five years ago, in 1957, the British political scene was in turmoil - as it is today. There was nuclear confrontation in Europe, disillusion at home and crisis in the Labour Party. At the centre of it all was neither a Prime Minister nor a Leader of the Opposition but a miners' hero from Wales whose oratory was a legend, whose legacy is the National Health Service, and whose life remains an enigma - Aneurin Bevan.
