Shostakovich Symphony No 7 (Leningrad)
by Thomas Heywood, adapted by Penny Gold
with Tom Wilkinson as Frankford, Paola Dionisotti as Ann and James Laurenson as Wendoll
One of the greatest Elizabethan Domestic Tragedies, the play was written circa 1603. 'How happy Frankford amongst other men': he is a gentleman blessed with money, education and, above all, a 'fair, chaste and loving wife'. Yet such happiness proves vulnerable when he takes into his house an impecunious but seemingly deserving young man, Master Wendoll.
