Description

This is a moving and perceptive insight into social change across decades told through individual experiences. From the barricades of the student movements of the late 1960s to the new century with its demands for different educational strategies, the university has been central to change. And it is on this stage that George played out his brilliant, tempestuous career. Written with passion and dangerous wit, this is a compelling new drama from the author of Hotel Sorrento.
