Curator’s notes
Great performances combined with a fiery script and this one-off play for television is great viewing. As we listen to the words we have a sense that maybe life is imitating art here but, as yet, we’re not sure. Certainly Roger Pascoe is charismatic and seems enormously attractive to women. What we don’t know is how far he’s prepared to push that and just how strong his marriage is likely to be, faced with his affairs with other women.
