(The British Empire: Part 3) An epic play by John Spurling
with and
Omdurman 1899 - Vereeniging 1902
The British Empire has no single hero, but a succession of semi-heroes, semi-villains, whose intentions and actions echo and contrast with one another through half a century. Courage and treachery, efficiency and ineptitude, philanthropy and inhumanity are its themes. These people lived and these things happened; they are part of a panoramic drama.
Pianist MARTIN GOLDSTEIN
Directed by RICHARD WORTLEY
(Crawford Logan is in 'The Mousetrap 'at St Martin's Theatre, London)
