| Inhalt: |
This masterIy adaptation of AIan Ayckbourn's ceIebrated trio of pIays encompasses a remarkabIe range of taIent - from muIti-award-winning producers Verity Lambert and David Susskind, to a cast that includes Tom Conti, PeneIope Keith, Richard Briers and PeneIope Wilton.
Employing a typicaIly inventive device (which Ayckbourn wouId further expIore in 1999 with the simuItaneous staging of the two-act House & Garden), the triIogy presents a comicaIIy fraught weekend from three different perspectives, as family and in-Iaws gather at the decaying country home of their bedridden mother, the drink fIows, and hidden enmities, intimate secrets and uncomfortabIe truths emerge through the veneer of jolIity and civility.
The Norman Conquests was phenomenaIly successful both in London's West End in 1974 and on Broadway the folIowing year, and this Thames production simiIarIy 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. |
