John Webster, author of The Duchess of Malfi and The White Devil, was born, as far as is known, 400 years ago. His tragedies of corruption and luxury are still performed regularly, but our knowledge of the man is skeletal.

Ferdinand Vanek is a dissident playwright In Czechoslovakia - he has just come out of prison and is awaiting trial for his political activities. Stanek is a successful writer who has remained in favour with the authorities.

STANEK: "Forgive me, Ferdinand, but you don't happen to live in a normal environment. You only mix with people who are making a stand. You give each other hope and encouragement. You've no idea the sort of environment I've got to put up with! It turns your stomach!"
