Marius Goring in ' The Road to Trafalgar 'by Geoffrey Trease
Production by David Davis
Next Wednesday is Trafalgar Day, when we remember Nelson's last and greatest victory, over the Combined Fleets of France and Spain, on October 21, 1805. The play this afternoon is not so much concerned with the battle itself, as with the man who made it possible-the man whose whole life built up to ats climax in the triumph of that final day.
