Archimedes
The second of three plays by John Wain and Laszlo Solymar about mathematicians and philosophers whose ideas brought about their downfall. Archimedes was thought by some to be a madman, jumping out of his bath and running stark naked through the streets shouting "Eureka!". But his inventions were capable of being turned into the most terrifying weapons.
Director Jane Morgan. Stereo
