Rudolf Walker and David Savile in "Thank God for U.D.I.!" at 8.0.
Written by Frank Clements, ex-mayor of Salisbury, Rhodesia, tonight's play is about a black and a white Rhodesian who meet in London. Benjamin Chingara is working as a Freedom Fighter, and Guy Norton is employed by the Smith regime sanction-busting.
Benjamin takes Guy back to his Earls Court flat to meet his white wife Kathleen who is busily painting protest banners and who is immediately aggressive about Norton's work for the Smith regime. The two men talk about their activities, the impotence of the British Government, and the ill-informed and patronising white liberal intervention.
On the fringe of their argument is Kathleen, whose views on politics and her marriage to a black man she herself begins to question.
