The Vase
Cleopatra had one. The
Emperor Augustus had this one - probably the finest example of Roman glass in the world. It was made in c30 BC - 30 years after the invention of glass blowing.
During its long life 'the vase' has inspired Rubens, Blake and Darwin; Wedgwood founded an entire industry on it. Then it was smashed by a drunk in 1845. It was immediately restored by the British Museum, who are restoring it again in a nine month project to reduce the vase to its original 230 broken fragments, add the odd pieces discovered in a drawer, and make it safe for the next 200 years. Value on completion? Actually priceless, but 30 million pounds might do.

by Alan Bleasdale
A series of five screenplays
[Starring] Michael Angelis as Chrissie Todd, Julie Walters as Angie, Jean Boht as Miss Sutcliffe

Snowy's death and the inquiry into the Malloy affair mean a rough day for both sides of the counter.
For Chrissie and his wife Angie, with their dole stopped, it means a showdown - this, after all, was going to be 'her time'.

"Grimly and vividly comic, played with a violent and shocking intensity." (Daily Telegraph)
