In the second of Iain MacCormick's play-cycle the time has moved on from the Indian Mutiny to the end of the nineteenth century. John Robinson's eldest son Jock - a District Officer - is concerned not so much with his own career, or even with his family, as he is with a threat of famine which springs from the plans of the Indian landlords to change over from rice-growing to the growing of indigo. It is with Jock's struggle against the authorities, and with his imaginative skill in handling different races and different castes that this comprehensive portrait of a family in India concerns itself tonight.
