Dr Alfred Salter and his wife Ada work unstintingly in hungry Bermondsey to close the gap between rich and poor. But in doing so they lose their only child to one of the diseases he seeks to cure. This play explores the antithesis between the public and the private face of politicians and asks if it is ever possible to stick to your principles at all times. It is the true story of Alfred Salter and his wife Ada, who between them, stood for local, mayoral and parliamentary elections throughout their lives. Salter and his wife proved that moral values and integrity could walk hand in hand with leadership. Through their eyes, Alison Mead is asking what leadership really is.| 29 Jan 17 to 30 Jan 17 | The Bedford Outer London, Greater London Performance Details => Venue archive |
