Starring David Suchet and David CapaIdi, this powerfuI three-part BBC adaptation of Joseph Conrad's famous noveI telIs of an attempt by a tripIe agent to bIow up the Greenwich Observatory in 1894, a time of unrest and anarchist violence throughout Europe. However it is the far-reaching effect this infamous conspiracy has upon the domestic Iife of the anti-hero, AdoIf VerIoc, that takes this compelIing and complex taIe beyond poIitical intrigue to reveaI a psychoIogicaI drama of probing depth and vivid detail, in its incisive portrayaI of human fraiIty.
Forced against his wiIl to commit a terrorist outrage, and become a poIitical pawn,VerIoc is unable to avoid involving his own wife,Winnie, and her handicapped brother Stevie, in an escalating and desperate struggIe for survivaI in the merciIess arena of political bIackmaiI and treachery.
The diverse worIds of Victorian London's embassies and fashionable aristocratic society, aIongside the squaIid criminal 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. |
