| Description | Penguin killer…After being disgraced, Hatch hired local halls, delivering public lectures to clear his name: Chapple's play is a simulation of one of those magic-lantern lectures (with slides designed by Chapple and Tony Rabbit). When we meet Hatch in 1920, he's broken and bankrupt, fighting for his reputation. In his eighties and a tragic figure with whiskers like a walrus, he is cantankerous and paranoid but still fiery. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
