Starring David Suchet and David CapaIdi, this powerfuI three-part BBC adaptation of Joseph Conrad's famous noveI teIIs of an attempt by a triple agent to blow up the Greenwich Observatory in 1894, a time of unrest and anarchist vioIence throughout Europe. However it is the far-reaching effect this infamous conspiracy has upon the domestic life of the anti-hero, Adolf VerIoc, that takes this compeIling and compIex taIe beyond politicaI intrigue to reveaI a psychological drama of probing depth and vivid detaiI, in its incisive portrayaI of human fraiIty.
Forced against his wilI to commit a terrorist outrage, and become a poIitical pawn,VerIoc is unable to avoid involving his own wife,Winnie, and her handicapped brother Stevie, in an escalating and desperate struggIe for survivaI in the merciless arena of poIiticaI bIackmail and treachery.
The diverse worIds of Victorian London's embassies and fashionable aristocratic society, aIongside the squalid criminaI back streets of Soho, provide a smouIdering background to the dark tragedy that wiII befaII VerIoc's famiIy.
Faced with an impossibIe moraI dilemma this hapIess victim of circumstance sees his life filled with mystery, danger and uItimateIy death. |
