Don John (Bristol Hippodrome)
Kneehigh Theatre, the Royal Shakespeare Company and Bristol Old Vic
It is England, 1978. The Winter of Discontent. Cold hearts seek comfort and poor souls look for love. We are in the lonely heart's column of life. 'Save me' is the silent call that drifts from their aching bodies. But wait. Has someone heard their cry? Will they be saved from the dark? Yes! He's here! Don John is here!
