Plenty. With envenomed wit and mocking disillusionment, modern British playwrights have sung an elegy in the graveyard of lost Empire. David Hare has added a tantalizing ingredient: an infernally mysterious woman whose moods and manners displace each other as if she were trying on hats. Kate Nelligan brings her to effulgent life...

Naturally the Needle washes up there. Naturally they fall in love. Naturally, in the end, she must choose between love and patriotic duty. As a bestseller, this was a good read...
