Synopsis: | Cockpit was one of the early forerunners of the vogue for environmental theatre which was to spread to England from off-Broadway in the 1960's. It was a play which boldly turned its back on everything that was normal in the English theatre of the time, including insularity. Its way of coming to grips with the problem of Displaced Persons in postwar Europe was to use the whole auditorium to create a theatrical image of a D.P. assembly centre, which itself served as an image of the chaos on the continent, with masses of bewildered hopeless people uprooted from where they belonged. Unsuspecting London theatregoers arriving at the Playhouse found themselves faced with a curtain painted in Germanic style and with notices in various European languages forbidding them to fight or carry firearms. The dialogue began incomprehensibly: a quarrel in Polish between two women fighting over a saucepan. Two English soldiers take charge, appearing from the back of the stalls, shouting orders and questions, treating the | |||||

Synopsis: | Is that of the destruction of one man by another. The Prisoner is a Cardinal in the Catholic Church of a middle-European country. The Interrogator represents the totalitarian government which has taken over that country and which finds it necessary to destroy the Cardinal whose independence of spirit constitutes a danger to the government. The play is a series of scenes between The Interrogator and The Prisoner, both of whom respect the other, but cannot accept what the other stands for. The Interrogator attacks The Prisoner first in one area, then in another, without effect; his faith and his integrity are so strong they cannot be touched by ordinary means. At first it is The Interrogator who shows the strain of the interviews; he becomes desperate in his search for some weapon to break The Prisoner's spirit. The relationship between the two men is a complex one, almost that of friendship.
