A drama by Antony Sher.
Spring 1917: the privileged world of Sorn Castle is upside down, its stately rooms full of amputees from the Western Front. While the local aristocracy makes a first attempt at nursing, a romance blossoms.
(Ceefax subtitles)
Drama: The Play on One: Changing Step
The first play for television by acclaimed RSC actor Antony Sher opens a new season of The Play on One. An outstanding cast includes (from left to right) James Convey, Lawrence McCain, Eleanor Bron, Sher and Bafta award-winning actress Susan Wooldridge. Set in Scotland in the spring of 1917 when the patriotic fervour of the First World War was beginning to wane, it is the story of the relationship between a young soldier recuperating from the loss of a leg in France and his aristocratic nursing attendant. Sher's powerful script also provides an open and honest examination of disablement; many of the wounded soldiers are played by young men who are themselves amputees. 9.30pm BBC1
