Introduction
In its devastating critique of the Labour Party, this play can be seen as a precursor to writer Trevor Griffiths’ masterwork series, Bill Brand (1976).
A Marxist son (Jack Shepherd) returns to confront his father (Bill Fraser), a moderate Labour politician, about his acceptance of a peerage.
The fascinating dialectic and family revelations that emerge result in what Dennis Potter described as ‘some of the sharpest, most telling and intelligent speeches ever heard on television’.
