Retired High Court judge, Sir Fennimore Truscott, has time on his hands and suspicion on his mind. His attractive wife, Margaret, has to endure judgements on everything from the pet dog to a wasp which lands in his toast and marmalade. But today the 'trial' is serious. For years Fennimore has suspected his debonair neighbour, Tom, of rogering — seducing — Margaret. With their only son, Edwin, due to arrive for a rare visit home, Fennimore's long-concealed fears are forced into the open. Who is the boy's father?

Tom Stoppard's acclaimed television play about the Polish Solidarity movement in the early 1980s. Between August 1980 and December 1981 an attempt was made in Poland to put together two ideas which would not fit, the idea of freedom as it is understood in the West and the idea of Socialism as it is understood in the Soviet empire. The attempt failed because it was impossible, in the same sense as it is impossible in geometry to turn a circle into a square with the same area.
