The Dark River by RODNEY ACKLAND
During the long hot summer of 1937, guests assemble at a house on the Thames. It should be idyllic. But the distant echoes of the Spanish Civil War and the threat of a greater conflict are reflected in the private agonies of the household.
The critic Hilary Spurling has described this play, written in 1942, as 'perhaps the one indisputably great play of the past half century in English'.
