Yes, the BBC have just emailed me (out of the blue!) to say that's the case regarding the website for the arts programme with the Saint-Just inspired garden on it, too. Shame, because it's a good play - though I'll admit I know comparatively little about the American War (probably more than Mel Gibson, though!) - I'll probably be shouting at the radio next week when it's the second part, on the French Rev.

It's a great script, but as it isn't full of action or sex, I can't see it being done on the big screen. Almost all cinemas are teenager-oriented multiplexes now, and I can't see that changing (even 'art house' cinemas play safe these days). It would work on TV, though - and as a lot of stuff is now British/US co-production it could happen...
