Trollope in Barsetshire
Edward Fox: Trollope in Barsetshire focuses on the writer's timeless novels which were written in the nineteenth century and were set in the imaginary county of Barsetshire. During the course of the show, Fox captures Trollope's colourful and immortal characters such as Dr Grantly, The Bishop and the notorious hypocrite, Obadiah Slope. Fox also plays a number of female parts, including the Mrs Proudie. Although 150 years old, marketing material promises Trollope's "astute" observations on human nature "are applicable to modern society and his work underscores the truism that little really changes in humanity". The production also examines Trollope's own life working for the Post Office and writing as he travelled around the country. Having worked his through the ranks to a senior position Trollope is honoured with having conceived the idea of red letter boxes.
