Leo McKern and Michele Dotrice star in the first of David Mercer's trilogy of plays charting the dissolution of Robert Kelvin. An illustrious, ageing and consciously socialist novelist, his memories are triggered by his love for Emma - a woman forty years his junior. His inability to respond to her any more than to the other two women in his life heightens the agony of the play's climax.
Also starring Thorley Walters and Rosalind Knight. Directed by Alan Bridges.
