Robert Harris. Zena Walker Betty Hardy. Megs Jenkins in Face in a Glass
A play by BARBARA FOXE about a famous man who has reached a point of tranquillity, detachment and humour. His followers, however, prefer to build around him an organisation of comfortable compromise. In everything a choice is involved. You can choose a steadfast devotion to one belief, one relationship, one work - or you can choose a restless, tyrannical pursuit of your own whims; but, by God. my friends, you cannot choose both.' with the voices of ROSALIND ADAMS
