...tried to steer an intellectual course between the Scylla of Socialism and the Charybdis of Conservatism. The Liberals sided with the Tories in favoring entry into the European Common Market and in opposing further nationalization of industry.

Stage Director Tito Capobianco gives her full rein: she even takes final leave of her lord and mate Henry VIII by giving him a stinging slap in the face that is a triumph of histrionics over history...
