Details
Howard Brenton's sweeping, epic play dramatises the violent clashes of culture and the humour of survival in times of invasion. Julius Caesar's raid on Britain fails; centuries later the myth of King Arthur is born, while in 1980 a British army officer loses his mind in Ireland. One of the most controversial plays of the 80s.
