Rehearsals - Michael Kitchen and Kenneth Cranham (from the programme)
Will confronts Veronica (Dinah Stabb) whose BBC Trotskyism produces bad vibes among the group.
Also at the Court, Michael Kitchen played a powerful scene with Kenneth Cranham in Howard Brenton's Magnificence.
An angry Jed (Kenneth Cranham) sets about Will who wears a fashionable sign of the times on his T-shirt.
