Notes: | Part of The Bomb a partial history. FIRST BLAST: Proliferation | |||||
| This is the world that was made by the bomb that was dropped by the plane that we built on one day in August in 1945. After a landslide victory in the General Election of 1945, Clement Attlee finds himself in power, and within days the A-Bomb has been dropped on Japan. The war is over, but the Iron Curtain has descended from Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic. The victorious powers have to decide how to handle a nuclear world should Britain go it alone or shelter behind America's skirts? | |||||

Notes: | part of a three month long festival about the culture and history of Afghanistan. Entitled The Great Game: Afghanistan. The festival will be divided into three parts, each focusing on a period of Afghan history: 1842-1930 : Invasions And Independence | |||||
| This play is preceded by a poetic duologue from Siba Shakib which glorifies Jemima Rooper's Malalai, a kind of Afghan Joan of Arc. Her story melts into a tale of diplomacy British style. Sir Henry Mortimer Durand was British Foreign Minister in India from 1885-94 and judging by Ron Hutchinson's portrait, acted out by a suitably pompous Michael Cochrane, personified all that was bad about his country. With a combination of bullying and bluster, he tries to persuade Paul Bhattacharjee's Abdur Rahman, the Amir appointed by the Brits, to divide up his kingdom. He gets short shrift and the threat of an alternative alliance for the Amir with the Russians. The most telling moment is when the local man draws a parallel with Great (and wasn't it?) Britain, suggesting an enlargement of Wales and division of Scotland as an appropriate equivalent to what is proposed. . | |||||

Determined to produce a rewrite in five days, he engages the reluctant services of ace script doctor Ben Hecht - possibly the only person in America who has not read the novel - and the movie's new director Victor Fleming, poached straight from the set of The Wizard of Oz . His reputation on the line, and with nothing but a stockpile of peanuts and bananas to sustain them, Selznick locks himself in his office with his two collaborators, and a marathon creative session begins. . . | |||||

His lover Nuala has to contend with this and with religious apartheid in police circles. The same masonic attitude stymies Victorian Dubliner Dr. Mulcahy in his (simultaneously unfolding) attempt to solve the earlier death. Both protagonists also grapple with the ramifications of migration to and from the province. | |||||
