Ken Lucas had previously presented his "Tranit of Venus" in the Prompt Corner as a rehearsed reading. Now we saw it enacted in full production under the author's direction. the Mannner of the play was stylish and elegant, but I found the point of the play elusive.<br />
<br />
It is 1977, when the Astronomer Royal, Neville Makelyne, was recording celectial observations with his assistant Will Price. The plot deals with the relationship between Will and Clarissa, widow of his brother who was drowned at sea. I was puzzled that Maskelyne should have so elequently urged his assistant to marry his deceased brother's wife, surely an illegal act in those days.<br />
