THE WINSLOW BOY IN SOUTH AFRICA

Directed by Anthony Asquith (The Yellow Rose Royce, We Dive At Dawn) and adapted from the seminal play by Terence Rattigan (The Browning Version, The Deep Blue Sea, Separate Tables), The Winslow Boy is a classic tale of standing up to bureaucracy and one familys testing fight for justice. Based on real life events, The Winslow Boy follows the tribulations of an Edwardian naval cadet who is accused of robbery then expelled from his academy. On returning home his father becomes determined to clear his name and prove his innocence after what he considers an unfair internal enquiry. During his pursuit for justice the case eventually reaches The House Of Commons to cause public outcry and a political furore. A thoroughly British, searing drama about the conquest for truth and the sacrifices that come with it, The Winslow Boy still retains its ability to move audiences with its poignant and powerful story telling.
