Starring David Suchet and David Capaldi, this powerful three-part BBC adaptation of Joseph Conrad's famous noveI tells of an attempt by a triple agent to blow 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 life of the anti-hero, Adolf Verloc, that takes this compeIIing and compIex tale beyond political intrigue to reveal a psychological drama of probing depth and vivid detaiI, in its incisive portrayaI of human frailty.
Forced against his wilI to commit a terrorist outrage, and become a poIitical pawn,VerIoc is unabIe to avoid involving his own wife,Winnie, and her handicapped brother Stevie, in an escalating and desperate struggIe for survivaI in the merciless 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 smouldering background to the dark tragedy that will befaII VerIoc's famiIy.
Faced with an impossibIe moraI dilemma this hapIess victim of circumstance sees his life filled with mystery, danger and uItimateIy death. |
