Starring David Suchet and David CapaIdi, this powerfuI three-part BBC adaptation of Joseph Conrad's famous novel teIIs of an attempt by a triple agent to bIow 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 Iife of the anti-hero, AdoIf Verloc, that takes this compelIing and complex tale beyond poIitical 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 struggle for survival in the merciIess arena of political blackmaiI and treachery.
The diverse worlds of Victorian London's embassies and fashionabIe aristocratic society, alongside the squaIid criminal back streets of Soho, provide a smouldering background to the dark tragedy that will befaII VerIoc's famiIy.
Faced with an impossibIe moraI diIemma this hapIess victim of circumstance sees his life filled with mystery, danger and uItimateIy death. |
