by Christopher Hampton

With Ian Holm, Tom Conti, Michael Pennington and Anna Massey

A new treatment of Christopher Hampton's famous stage play, re-written by him specifically for radio. The main action of the play is set in Brazil in 1970, and deals with the kidnapping of an embassy official by revolutionaries, which is sharply contrasted with the horror of the bombing of the Cintas Largas tribe during the performance of their funeral ritual in 1963. In Christopher Hampton's hands this becomes an intensely moving and vital social drama.
