Congress by MALCOLM BRADBURY
The ' silent ' Dr Vestey flies in from England to a European congress to discuss ' cultural and economic inter-penetration in the 80s '. He finds himself in a parody world of ' Franglais ' language and a sinister world of empty speechifying. Then there is Eva, the translator, attractive, loving and full of ' tristesse '.
Technical presentation by JOCK FARRELL Assisted by MARSAIL MACCUISH and VANESSA ELLNER Directed by RICHARD WORTLEY
