Afternoon Play - Final Demands - The Lesson of the Master

Series of plays by Frederic Raphael reuniting the characters from his novel The Glittering Prizes, which followed the fortunes of scholarship boy Adam Morris and his contemporaries at Cambridge University in the early 1950s. Decades have passed, and we now catch up with Adam and his friends (and enemies) in the days of John Major's government. Back in Britain with the manuscript of Rachel's book, Adam decides to ask his and Rachel's old college mentor to give his opinion on it. The result is unsettling. He also gets an offer he'd love to be able to refuse, and spends a long car journey with a couple of his old sparring partners. Adam Morris ...... Tom Conti Barbara Morris ......
