Synopsis
Loosely based on the life of Peter Rachman--concentration camp survivor, property racketeer and murky presence in the Profumo Affair--Singer is an epic fable of post-war Britain told with lurid and exhilarating energy. "A big, gaudy, complex play, partly an impressionistic portrait of post-war Britain, partly a meditation on the aftermath of the Holocaust."--The Times (London)
