Solid BBC adaptation of the classic play, which works well on radio because so many of the scenes are two-handers. The swearing I believe has been cut down, but the piece isn’t less effective for that. The cast is fortunately Americans rather than English actors aping the accent, including Alfred Molina, Hector Elizondo, and Bruce Davison (although I’d be curious to hear Englanders play it in their own accent). As devastating a critique on unrestrained capitalism as anything ever written in American theatre, up there with Arthur Miller.
