'This Story of Yours..' which opened at the Royal Court in 1969, is a gripping powerful neglected gem of British Theatre. The author, John Hopkins was best known as a television dramatist, adapting John Le Carre's 'Smileys People' and writer on the 1960s BBC Police drama 'Z Cars'.
Police Detective Sergeant Johnson is a man in extremis, with a failed marriage, recurrent memories of all the terrible crimes he has witnessed, and despair with a world that allows such things to be. Now all his frustration and anguish are unleashed in an extreme act of violence. Convinced he has caught the man responsible for a series of attacks on little girls, a suspect is brought in for questioning. During the interrogation dark emotions rise to the surface with appalling results.
