Other People's Fu**ing! An Oxford Affair: The story of A.L Rowse & Adam von Trott
No Customer Reviews
This new play charts the strange and intense relationship between All Souls Fellow, and historian, A.L. Rowse and German aristocrat Adam von Trott zu Solz. They met as young men in Oxford in 1929 and remained close until Trott was executed by the Nazis in 1944 for his part in the failed July 20th plot to assassinate Hitler. The play includes Al Bowlly and some of his recordings - so evocative of the 1930s. Rowse never got over Trott's death and his influence on him continued until Rowse's own death aged 93 in 1997. In spite of his brilliance, Rowse never felt that he really fitted in. He often made outrageous statements to shock his fellow academics - his cynicism for the world grew until he was quite bitter about waste, human proliferation but most importantly his own income tax bill "This filthy twentieth century - I hate its guts "
