Richard Dimbleby recalls events from last week's Television newsreels.
A new play by Charles Lloyd-Jones.
There were halcyon days when brave adventurers from England fought the secret war against the Germans all over Europe side by side with Communist allies. Now that the Iron Curtain has descended, a young ex-Intelligence Officer is brought back to work and sent on a mission to Germany to make contact with a girl ex-agent (from behind the Iron Curtain) whom he once loved and whom he is to love again. You will perceive that this is really a Romeo and Juliet story, with England playing the part of the House of Montague and the Iron Curtain countries standing for the House of Capulet, and the young lovers finding themselves torn between love and the family feud. On this basis the play proceeds to spin its plots of missing documents, sinister agents, bodies smuggled out of the country, and other variegated excitements. Luckily, the ending is happier than Romeo and Juliet's. (Lionel Hale)
