Hansard - 2019 - 7/10
Theatre junkies, from boards to capital steps to bedrooms.
The bloom of love, faded, withered, their marriage one of sufferance.
For all that, the habits of love still wear like shackles.
Diana and Robin met and married in 1968.
Desire overcame political stances, but by 1988 (when this is set) Thatcherism is rising.
One partner is a party man, a guaranteed vote, for a side that coaxes fear for support.
The other partner is staunch Labour, yet apparently a limousine liberal.
Razor barbed play, one act, one set.
