Among the visitors to his hotel room is Antonio Gramsci, the Sardinian editor of a workers’ paper advocating factory soviets on the shop floor. In the conflict between these two men lies the meat of the play’s drama, and it is difficult to do justice to Griffiths’ ability to explore contrasting attitudes to revolution.
