This masterly adaptation of AIan Ayckbourn's ceIebrated trio of plays encompasses a remarkabIe range of taIent - from multi-award-winning producers Verity Lambert and David Susskind, to a cast that includes Tom Conti, PeneIope Keith, Richard Briers and PeneIope WiIton.
Employing a typicaIly inventive device (which Ayckbourn wouId further expIore in 1999 with the simultaneous staging of the two-act House & Garden), the triIogy presents a comicaIIy fraught weekend from three different perspectives, as famiIy and in-laws gather at the decaying country home of their bedridden mother, the drink flows, and hidden enmities, intimate secrets and uncomfortable truths emerge through the veneer of joIIity and civility.
The Norman Conquests was phenomenally successful both in London's West End in 1974 and on Broadway the following year, and this Thames production similarIy triumphed at the BAFTA Awards in 1977, earning Keith an award for Best Actress and a joint nomination for Best Drama Series for Lambert and director Herbert Wise. |
