In them he looks back on 40 years of striving for literary and political success and social acceptance, and the stories are the nearest Disraeli came to non-fictional autobiography, containing some of his finest and wittiest writings.

The Present by Gabriel Josipovicl dramatised by GUY VAESEN with Michael Spice as Alex Caroline Blakiston as Minna and Jim Norton as Reg
A tragi-comedy about the tensions of life and the submerged fantasies they may produce. There has been an accident outside the house where Minna and Reg and an old schoolfriend Alex live. The occurrence highlights the emotional needs of the three people concerned and as their relationships are explored the question of time becomes a dominant factor - which scenes are in the past, the present or perhaps yet to come.
Produced and directed by GUY VAESEN followed by an interlude
