"This second volume of plays by Georg Kaiser contains five plays
ranging from his early work through the time of his prolific
maturity in the 1920s to his last period as an exile in
Switzerland, where he died in 1945. David and Goliath is set in
Denmark and deals with the power of money over men. The President,
set in France, is ironical in tone and revolves around a lottery
and, once again, the power of money. The Flight to Venice was
written at the height of the Expressionist movement in 1922, and is
one of the principal plays of the period. One Day in October is
highly complex, using nineteenth-century French literary
personalities to make points about literary creation and the
relationship between art and life. The final play, The Raft of the
Medusa, takes its title from Gericault's painting, and concerns the
regeneration of man overlaid with the pessimism of the European
struggle."

Jess (Charlotte Coleman) is the adopted daughter of an
over-enthusiastic evangelist (Geraldine McEwan), whose views on
life have been shaped by Bible classes and religious radio shows.
When Jess grows up she meets Melanie and their close friendship
turns to passion - something that her horrified mother and local
pastor believe is the work of the Devil, and they set out to take
drastic action to save Jess from the evil temptation. This
adaptation of Jeanette Winterson's bestselling novel won three
BAFTA awards, including Best Actress (McEwan) and Best Drama
Series.
