A scandal half-stifled is worse than a scandal. One is at
everybody's mercy. Backstage at a hung parliament, visionary
Independent Henry Trebell is co-opted by the Tories to push through
a controversial Bill. Pursuing his cause with missionary zeal, he's
barely distracted by his brief affair with a married woman until
she suffers a lethal backstreet abortion. Threatened by public
scandal, the Establishment closes ranks and coolly seals the fate
of an idealistic man. Famously banned by the censors in 1907,
Harley Granville Barker's controversial masterpiece gathers a large
ensemble to expose a cut-throat, cynical world of sex, sleaze and
suicide amongst the political elite of Edwardian England. This
edition was published for the National Theatre's revival in
November 2015.
