Book excerpt: It is the opening night of the Shireston Festival Company's new season. A season which began for Douglas Silver last summer when the trustees responsible for the Festival appointed him Director with a free hand and a generous budget. Convinced that the Shakespearian dramas mirror the problems that beset modern society, Douglas feels sure that by presenting Shakespeare in a radically new light he will rescue Shireston from the obscurity into which it has gradually sunk over the years. Will the audience accept his radical interpretation of Romeo and Juliet? Will they accept a celebrated black night-club singer as Othello? Or will they dismiss it all as a cheap gimmick? It is their reaction on this opening night which will decide the entire future of the Shireston and the career of Douglas Silver.
