by NIGEL DENNIS Michael Bryant as the ' Prisoner ' in a reading of the novel with music composed by CARL DAVIS
War is a time when little men get the chance to behave badly. Keeping his house in order becomes an obsession for the prisoner who claims to be a cartographer, is suspected of being a spy, and is most certainly a busy and dedicated coward.
His world in the midst of war is a greenhouse, a privileged position for a prisoner. All he wants to do is tend his plants through the long wicked winter. But he is persuaded to take a fatal role in the bickering rivalries between the captors who are themselves half afraid of his monumental fear. So they send him packing.
