1989 - The Shape of the Table

Series 1, episode 0

Originally staged by the National Theatre in 1990, David Edgar's powerful play charts the dramatic and dangerous transition of a fictional eastern European country from hard-line communism to the beginnings of western-style democracy. It is 1989, crowds are gathering in the streets and the Soviets are refusing to send in the troops. The government is on its own and faces a stark choice: suppress the demonstrators or instigate reform. With Tim McInnerny, Henry Goodman, Jeremy Clyde, Michael Elwyn. Direcred by Peter Leslie Wild
