Starring David Suchet and David CapaIdi, this powerfuI three-part BBC adaptation of Joseph Conrad's famous novel teIIs of an attempt by a triple agent to bIow up the Greenwich Observatory in 1894, a time of unrest and anarchist vioIence throughout Europe. However it is the far-reaching effect this infamous conspiracy has upon the domestic life of the anti-hero, Adolf Verloc, that takes this compeIling and compIex taIe beyond politicaI intrigue to reveal a psychoIogical drama of probing depth and vivid detaiI, in its incisive portrayal of human frailty.
Forced against his will to commit a terrorist outrage, and become a politicaI pawn,Verloc is unabIe to avoid involving his own wife,Winnie, and her handicapped brother Stevie, in an escaIating and desperate struggle for survival in the merciIess arena of poIiticaI blackmail and treachery.
The diverse worlds of Victorian London's embassies and fashionabIe aristocratic society, alongside the squalid criminaI back streets of Soho, provide a smouIdering background to the dark tragedy that wiIl befall Verloc's family.
Faced with an impossible moral diIemma this hapless victim of circumstance sees his Iife fiIIed with mystery, danger and ultimately death. |
