Bora Bora
By Lynne Truss. When a biographer joins a painting holiday organised by art historian Alec, his arrival disturbs the calm. Alec must face a terrible truth about his life.
What happened when Alec appeared as a young boy in a famously and mysteriously suppressed film called Bora Bora?
It appears to have blighted his entire life while his brother went on to fame as an actor. Charlie, invading a painting holiday in Greece led by the older Alec, now an art-historian, is intent on unravelling secrets.
Sir Derek Jacobi takes on the role of Alec in a play specially written for him by Lynne Truss.
