War with the Newts
By Karel Capek. Dramatised by George Poles.
When humanity encounters another race of intelligent bipeds sharing the Earth, what choice is there but to exploit it? When the existence of a group of speaking newts comes to the attention of ruthless GH Bondy and his Salamander Syndicate the newts find themselves turned into a commodity, and fought over by nations. At its heart, this joyously funny satire is a plea for decency and tolerance towards others, as relevant now as when it was first written in the 1930s.
Capek ...... Dermot Crowley
Olga ...... Sally Hawkins
Van Toch ...... Henry Goodman
Povondra ...... Geoffrey Beevers
Mrs Povondra ...... Tina Gray
GH Bondy ...... Adrian Scarborough
Ensemble ...... Ben Crowe, Martin Hyder and Geoff McGivern
