✦ Synopsis

It's now 50 years since The Night of the Barricades in Paris (10-11 May 1968), when thousands of students protested and built barricades against the police, leading to hundreds of arrests and student and police hospitalized. It was also the year of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy's assassination and the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia. Maydays tells the story of the idealistic young who came of age in 1968 and were drawn into revolutionary politics.

In Trying It On, it's 1968. David is 20. It is the height of the worldwide student revolt. The Vietnam war rages. Enoch Powell delivers his "Rivers of Blood" speech. Martin Luther King is assassinated. These events will define David's politics and give focus to his writing.

It's 50 years on. The 70-year-old is confronted by the 20-year old. Do they share the same beliefs? If not, is it the world that's changed, or him?
