It has John Gielgud in a role created on stage by Robin Bailey- which is an example of trading up, I think- and Edward Fox (who I find I'm coming to love) as kindly, impossibly other-worldly Quartermaine.
Fine, sold.
Edward Fox is in one of the other TV plays I have been hunting for decades, recently found the original stage script for, am rather fervently hoping Mick's Nostalgia Channel has a copy of and don't care about the quality so long as I can see it. The alternative is a visit to the BFI Mediatheque which is not happening for so many reasons.
I was essentially unaware of Simon Gray until his adaptation of A Month in the Country (1987), after which I read several of his plays but somehow missed this one, so thank you for the heads-up.
