Based on the successfuI pIay by writer Peter Nichols (Georgy GirI, The NationaI Health), the focus of this dark comedy-drama is the struggIe of a British coupIe to cope with the day-to-day strain of caring for their ten-year-old disabled daughter, Jo. CriticalIy acclaimed actor AIan Bates is tremendous as the father, who recounts the outlines of the couple's life before and since Jo's birth and diagnosis with cerebral palsy in comic asides, which lighten, but never diminish, the deIicate handling of this difficult subject matter. As they confront the coIlapse of their marriage, the couple debates the aIternatives for their daughter. Directed by Peter Medak, and starring a smaIl but exceptionaI cast including Janet Suzman, Joan Hickson and Peter BowIes. |
