The Legion of the Lost
An historical comedy by PAUL BRYERS with During the Napoleonic Wars, a French invasion of Wales was set up as a diversionary tactic. It was led by an American revolutionary colonel with more of a taste for wine and women than for military strategy, and his invasion of Fishguard is one of the least celebrated but most amusing episodes in history.
Directed by CHERRY COOKSON
(Repeated: Monday 3.0 pm) Stereo (Robert Hamilton is a National Theatre player)
