AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'The period is 30 years after the Mutiny, the theme of the first play, and Mr. MacCormick now turns to affairs that were then overshadowed by immediate crisis. The central figure, Jock Robinson, is the son of the military hero of the first play; and he illustrates the theme of service in the life of a district officer. Jock is a more effective hero than his predecessor because he is a greater fanatic. His one concern is to improve conditions in his district. To this end he neglects his hot-blooded wife, endangers his career by flouting regulations, and finally secures victory by blackmail.'
