This was a West End transfer from the Chichester Festival, which had been so well received that even we set aside our West-End show scepticism to see it in Theatreland.
We weren’t disappointed. This was a very good production of a very good play. It is basically about the denazification investigation of the German conductor Wilhelm Furtwängler.
Michael Pennington & Daniel Massey played the lead roles, investigating officer major Arnold & Furtwängler respectively. Harold Pinter added yet more gravitas by directing it.
The Theatricalia entry for the play/production can be found here.
Michael Billlington really liked it when he saw it in Chichester that spring:

Michael Coveney also liked it while comparing it with Absolute Hell:
