Jeffrey Archer's play The Accused was front page news; the critics sneered; audiences cheered. As the defence lawyer, Edward Petherbridge received fan letters and a formal warning from the management. For Edward, the experience was unsettling and thought-provoking, causing him to question the nature of truth and an actor's part in presenting it. Defending Jeffrey...? goes behind the scenes at the Old Bailey as well as backstage in Archer's play as Edward reflects on over 40 years of working in the British theatre - and on an actor's search for the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.T01089864826Company West Yorkshire Playhouse.
