| Description | Structured around a race meeting - the running of the legs of the treble shape the three acts. Brechtian influence. The story concerns an Everyman, Murph the serf of the turf - a man who sells paint during the week and rides his dreams on Saturday…. Thompson attempts to bring back a strong naturalistic element to balance the songs, dances and other alienating devices. ACT Review. | |||||||||||||
